Taxing wealth instead of work is touted as an important part of the solution to the wealth gap, but I’m curious which other solutions have been proposed or attempted and have succeeded or failed.

By definition, that is not “universal”. In fact, that already exists with an additional clause: you must be unemployed to receive it - which doesn’t make it basic income either.
But let’s say basic income were implemented in the form you’re talking about, how would it reduce the wealth gap? It’s not like basic income increases wealth, does it?
Didnt say you had to be unemployed.
You reduct a wealth gat 2 ways, lowering the top or raising the bottom.
