But universal benefits pay everyone, which remove all incentives.

The U removes the incentive to seem/feel incapable. Positive incentives stay, except maybe working to not starve, but that one is already eradicated with conventional benefits.

I haven't seen anyone advocate a "exclusive universal basic income", where other forms would not exist.
