If nobody works (cannot collect taxes because there's no income) and companies need to sell (possible collect taxes), then companies will pay 100% of their product just for people to consume their products. If the companies pay 100% of the value of their product, well, that's impossible and no possible way to the Government to tax income = End Game.
Transition vehicle... possible but I'm afraid that it will be worst than the reward system that we have in place. If people work, they get money. UBI is just to lower Government costs. The rest is shenanigans.
If scientists don't get paid, they use XX% amount of their time just trying to get food and water... and that's what nobody wants! We want them to think and come up with great useful "stuff" for the rest of mankind! People that don't have a job still have to eat food and drink water!
If you give UBI to people and take away healthcare, some people will die because they just spent their money on tobacco or alcohol. We Humans have flaws and usually logic isn't 100% perfect at predicting what Humans will do.
When we have an unlimited supply of resources for the minimal conditions to support life, then things start to change (and we're not so far to achieve that!).
