I like the "Whatever, as long as it's voluntary" ideology

It's only problem is it's naivety about how to achieve its stated goals. Enforcing and maintaining a classless status quo would require a period of strong central control at least a few generations long. Reactionary forces from within and political sabatogebfrom without can't be wished away with good will

Codifying the State’s authority to redistribute wealth only guarantees that the authority will have to be wrested from them eventually.

Codifying the individuals rights to aggregate wealth only ensures that eventually the State will be needed to break up monopolies and redistribute wealth eventually.

There is no one size fits all solution. Wealth naturally aggregates at the top of any system, and the power to redistribute wealth is inevitably abused. This is human nature, and even in hyperbitcoinization you will see power structures emerge they will eventually abuse their wealth discrepancy. They might not be able to alter the protocol, but they can use their wealth discrepancy to alter other things which ensures their continued advantages.
