> Let people opt in to the court system

You can't "opt in" to a system that exerts coercive power (in the dictionary-definition sense) over everyone in a jurisdiction. You are already in. The system will not let you out, because that would interfere with other civil and criminal processes (for example, bankruptcy proceedings) and in doing so harm society as a whole.



The belief that a coercive monopoly is beneficial to society is a delusion of religious proportions.
