I've never considered the way Incubators gather energy, taking their purpose into account. If they combat enthropy, their concern should be to increase the amount of available energy, and magic is one power able to human emotions into energy with high production rates. As long as this energy is released at the moment of a magical girl turning into a witch, this energy is already part of the universe (although it makes you wonder if no monitoring device on Earth is capable of detecting such an outburst of energy in the middle of a big city), so there should be nothing more Incubators need to bother with.
Then again, it's interesting how the new system works. Since demons aren't born from magical girls, no transformation takes place. We don't know whether Kyuubey needed actual grief seeds as batteries or not, but it sure looks like the giref cubes Puellae Magi now harvest from demons are the only energy sourse. Or... is the energy released at the moment the demon is defeated? Doubtful, since it should have worked the same way with witches.
