I realize there's no data on this, but do these localized experiments translate into actual UBI at all? I only skimmed the article but it seems to me that giving 125 people 500$/Month, which come from a donation to research UBI, has basically no relation to actual UBI.
They found that giving those 125 people an unconditional monthly allowance helps them survive and has a positive effect on their life.
They did not seem to research at all how to actually fund it, what kind of effect a higher tax to fund it would have, or what would happen to the government employees currently working in social welfare if they'd lose their job.
