In the OT there are numerious examples of polygamy but in the NT I don't think there are any (apart from Herod whom John the Baptist condemned for taking his brother's wife). Like everything those who don't want to submit to scriptural authority will then find something from scripture and twist it to suit a rebellious and lustful heart.

John was the greatest of the Prophets. His criticism of Herod was not for polygamy. According to Josephus, Herod had ten wives and numerous concubines and John didn't say a word about them.
The question isn't whether it's optimum, good or virtuous because it isn't. But whether it is a sin in a country where it is legal. And if so does it rise to the level of a sin that can and should lead to excommunication.
I can see some cases for church discipline, but only on principles laid down in Biblical law, like ignoring the first wife. Other cases as well, perhaps, like one guy we had who's wife couldn't bear children. He married another woman because of that, and to my mind it was clearly wrong on several levels that could possibly result in church intervention.
