Marx overly focused on one criteria to describe class. It's ok to accept ownership/working classes as a useful tool for understanding the world but other systems also offer useful lessons for understanding the world in different ways and contexts.
Marxism does not limit one's understanding purely to production and distribution, though, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Domenico Losurdo's Class Struggle is a good read.
