I don't have a clue what other states mandate but I know here in MN Manhole opening needs to be within 1' of surface. When cleaned the pumper is supposed to pump out through the manhole. The pump truck pulls out 80-90% of volume and then reverse flow back in to agitate sludge layer and break up skum layer hanging at tank top. If done properly all sludge is removed. I personally don't know an installer that adds any bacterial starter to a tank. Pumping doesn't harm the tank bacteria level either. From your first No.2 flush in a new system enough bacteria has been introduced to start decompostion. It's bleaches and strong cleaners that do the most harm. As to not pumping systems for years if ever, I would certainly think that coarse granular soils with a high perk rate would be very forgiving in the amount of solids they would accept and still pass effluent. Like the car that runs 50,000 miles without an oil change, there are exceptions to every rule. If your fortunante enough to live in a non-nanny state you can guard your investment as little or as much as you like.
