I presume that you’ve been informed that if your marriage is not recognized by the Church, you are not able to receive the sacraments.

Living in a Josephite civil marriage my wife and I would encounter no problems receiving the sacraments. But I'm not confirmed and would not be unless it was wholly within the purview of the FSSP, etc.

I might be mistaken because of the chaste relationship. I think of the parents of St. Therese of Lisseux.

“Living in a Josephite civil marriage my wife and I would encounter no problems receiving the sacraments.”

Josephite civil marriage? I don’t think there is such a thing. For it to be a Josephite marriage it needs to be a licit, valid Catholic marriage. I think you also need permission of the bishop in that case as well.
