What you describe demand a very high level of knowing laws. If you are into all that pile of papers and learned juridical argo, you have very good chances to become a lawyer and just compensate all possible taxes with money you coud earn for a lawyer services.
If your unwillingness to pay taxes is not based on money, but you just don't want to pay anything to the state for ideological reasons, then things will eat all your time. Say, you buy a car, and as a sovereign citizen don't need license plates and driver license. Each meeting with road police will cost you months of your life to dismiss all charges. So, you need some source of money for living, buying car and all that stuff. But if you have such endless source of free money, then you are definitely not an ordinary person with a job and all that stuff. Probably, you could exist in such state, but does such existence in permanent juridical battles really worth it? Your activity will produce salaries for many people who will pay additional taxes. And it is qestionable, if that amount of additional tax will be lower than the tax you had to pay. Eventually state could receive even more taxes than if you just paid yours, which is obviously contradicts your goal. You will create jobs and so taxes instead of minimizing them.
Really, I don't see any point to prefer such weird way of living over, say, going guerilla capitalism with just hiding your income from any possible surveillance. Yes, you will not be able to buy, say, latest car from dealer, but do you really need it?
And last but not least thing, that rises moral question - there is some services that even worst state provide for citizens, like roads, water, rescue in disaster and so on. Not most expensive things, of course, but they are not free, and people, who keep them, deserve salary for their job. Basically all that things are paid with taxes. And there is no way (AFAIK) to pay for that things directly. Just no any mechanism exist for that. Will it be honest thing for sovereign citizen to use all that things for free?
Yep, individuals make their own decisions about things like licenses too, unrelated question; each decision is to be made on one's own conscience. My conscience chooses the hills I fight on.
Your argument that tax avoidance may create greater net taxes is the broken window fallacy debunked by Frederic Bastiat.
Hard libertarians reject government mandates for roads, water, and rescue on the grounds they should be opt-out and there are private ways to do everything better than publicly; that too is a conscience issue.
So, overall, the person who realizes the duties of sovereignty does indeed face all these questions, and decides them each sovereignly.
