So, my argument is this;
1. Most official translations mention "destruction". We already have someone posting scans of the English translations saying that they're going to destroy the universe. Even if a bad fan translation says "jeopardy", the general meaning is still preserved.
2. I don't really think most detractors for the anime even care about the 2.5 punches thing, or the shockwaves destroying a planet and a star somewhere else— in fact, they'd probably use that as an argument against Universal Goku, call Beerus the reason for that, or say "they didn't destroy the universe" and that fact is enough to "debunk" it. So I don't think a bunch of smaller things and semantics are what make this showing any more or less universal. I will say that the 2 or 3 punches thing seems like more of a decent amount of evidence to me, as it makes it clear how strong they are and how fast they're going to accomplish this feat. Doesn't change much of it though, as even shaking 2 universes to the point of compromising their, well, structural integrity with just shockwaves should make you well into universal.
The fact of the matter is that their punches were strong enough to generate shockwaves that would destroy the universe— 2 universe sized structures, the afterlife, and the living world. That's at least 3-B, likely 3-A. Those shockwaves aren't just shaking two universe sized structures, they're going to destroy them.
