who should offset the missing work

I don't know about the rest of your questions, but generally there wont be much missing work. Unemployment is rising thanks to automation and AI, and a lot of work is bullshit busy-work anyway.

With a lot of upheaval and confusion in the interim, I truly believe we could cut working hours by 50% and still be basically fine.

You can't cut working hours if you get rid of all the immigrants doing the "busy-work".
