Yes.
In a post scarcity economy, it only makes sense. It would be better for everyone, even nature I bet.
It would give people options to pursue the career they enjoy.
Should have started in the industrial revolution, clearly should have started in the petroleum/corn age, and stupidly far behind in the computer age.
Imagine all the brilliant scientists/artists/engineers/etc stuck in a dead-end jobs just because food & rent.
We could have a new Renaissance, but we are owned.

It makes sense in any economy, which has enough material to provide the basics to everybody. We indeed could do it today, even though we have material constraints as we can see with the climate crisis for example.
