One question:
If you think God doesn't desire that mankind participate in the work of salvation, why did He bother to become incarnate?
I do not understand your question. Temple curtain practices ended in Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
There is no more that 'veil' or curtain literally or figurative for the priest to do work behind.
