So Texas will keep 20% of their NST receipts as a administrative fee to cover the cost of collection, but Massachussets will keep 85% because they have a bigger bureaucracy and need to pay more government salaries.

The bureaucracy required to administer the probate checks and be watchdog over states remitting tax receipts would be less than one percent of what the IRS now costs to fund. And the right to privacy regained is absolutely enormous.
Which is best? The Feds pounding the citizens or the Feds pounding the states? Which gives the individual more freedom?
