I will stick it with a robot, Q20 and elbow grease.

Zim man with 151 children and 16 wives still wants more
Nyandoro, who is now unemployed, spends his days sitting in his centrally located shed, eating meals, one by one, as his wives bring him 16 meals – one after the other.

No, not likely. I'm no green-eyed monster, but I'm probably just jealous enough to preclude it. But hey... Maybe if I were in a situation where it made sense. Oh, and dear god, look at the way divorce laws discriminate against men at present... Imagine your a guy married with two women - And they then want to divorce you. (!!!). Children or no. You'll be left with nothing (and not the proverbial nothing - real nothing - less than nothing maybe even)
As far as the law is concerned, I think it would be wise that the law insists that marriages should, at least officially, be a closed loop (what's going to change casual human nature after all things said and done). No loose ends.
As in. Anybody marrying a married person, must at the same time marry the other person(s), and vice versa. I think the law should try and prevent situations where somebody is in a marriage, and suddenly their partner wants to marry somebody else in, who they do not want to be in a marriage with. And multiple marriages should not intersect on a subset of the people involved in those marriages.
It should not be one person in an existing marriage marrying somebody else. It should be the people in the marriage marrying another person. Subtle difference. Everybody should willingly, and intentionally as well as legally, be married to everybody else in a marriage. That covers the interest of the consenting adults.
What now about the rights of the children. Will the children legally be the children of all the adults? Will members, in the event of a divorce, have the right to sue for guardianship of children which are not their biological children?
It really could be a can of worms. On the other hand. It could be hugely beneficial for the children if such a marriage persists.
You can bet it would probably be solid gold for Hollywood's tabloid news industry.

Hell No
1 woman is already a busload of work
Any man that is into polygamy is an absolute twat. His body is a life support system for his penis. No thank you

No, I doubt it would result in a successful relationship in a modern society with women's rights. This sort of thing works better in more old-fashioned patriarchal societies where women are servile to men and very dependent on their male partner. In a society where women have high paying professional careers, this is not going to fly. Why would your doctor wife tolerate you cavorting with another woman?
Would I consider it... Only if I were in an extremely gender imbalanced society, say 2:1 female to male ratio, and the women have come to a gentleman's agreement to share a husband so that everyone can have a chance at having a family and children. I feel like monogamy is better for a society. A stable society is one with an even male to female ratio where men have a fair chance at getting a partner. A couple of wealthy men hogging all the women to themselves seems like it won't have good long term consequences.
Sweden currently has the biggest youth gender imbalance in the world, with about 135 young men for every 100 young women due to the large scale male-dominated migration they have accepted over the last two decades, which ranks as one of the most tragic cases of a naive and short-sighted people spoiling their own paradise completely voluntarily. They have tremendous unrest among their immigrant male youth population due to the lack of immigrant female partners and the cold shoulders they typically get from the ethnic European Swedish women.
In a society where polygamy is accepted, even if it has an equal male to female gender ratio, you could see a similar problem to what Sweden is experiencing with its male youth population. Young women in their twenties might choose to join the harems of the older and richer men in their country for a more care-free, sponsored life, leaving the male youth with a lack of partners, frustrated and aggressive.
