We would probably be fine if people who wanted to work just kept working

And what if we wouldn’t? Is there a statistics on how many people work just for the sake of work?

But even if not, you could still offer money

Not a lot of money, bc taxes are gonna be hella high to sustain universal income.

because it’s no longer a question of labor or suffer

Yeah, it's a question of labor or just chilling. Who tf is gonna choose labor? Seems like your ideal society's gonna be supported by useful idiots.

Most people like to be productive.

There is enough money and resources. It's mostly just consolidated in the hands of the rich. You've probably seen https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ . If you spread that around, you get more economic activity.

Lots of people choose to do stuff instead of just chilling. Go look at all the open source projects that are just made by hobbyists, or community gardens, or any number of other self organized projects. Capitalism with all the profit is theft bits isn't the only way.
