That description may be fine, but you had stated "so long as they are passionate about it", and that is unfortunately omitting a great deal of work we, as yet, still need humans doing yet no one or not enough people will possibly be passionate about it.

The "we might be able to afford a base level of viable living so no one has to have a crisis but still people will want to buy stuff and this they still will pursue income" I can agree with, but there will still be crap jobs and some folks will have to do them.

In terms of "no one is suggesting", there are sincere "anti work" people who claim no one should ever need to do any work they wouldn't want to do for free". In this example, there's a lot of room for ambiguity about what they are describing, basic viable living versus pretty comfortable living.

I'm my mind, there needs to be some heavier incentive towards paying more for robots for dangerous work, and more time to share responsibility for crap work. Like instead of a system where one guy gets stuck every day going to the sewage plant, you somehow have people with multiple jobs such that they only do sewage treatment like twice a month and you have 15 people with that arrangement rather than a full time guy.
