Won’t we face an economic decline if we continue reducing the work week even further?

Depends on the type of job. I suspect that creative work (not art, but also things like software development) have a threshold after which more work brings diminishing returns while simultaneously worsening future output. No idea what that threshold is. Also, manual labor unfortunately doesn't seem to share this property to the same degree.
