I too have thought about this. What would be the alternative? Perhaps a legal opt-out? No participation in entitlement programs in exchange for no property taxes or zoning rules? Maybe dedicated cities or areas for this type of living? I’m sure you can do this nowadays, but it’s technically illegal, no?

Taxes also pay for things that people rarely think about, like police. And yes, I know some people have guns in their house, and live in places where police take ages to get there. But I'm not aware of anyone in America that has to stress over a local warlord.
