This sounds naive to the point of dystopian. What about tragedy-of-the-commons collective action problems, like pollution, natural resources (overfishing, overlogging), climate change, herd immunity?

Canada and Nordic countries rank highly in every major freedom index, yet these countries are all known for relatively high tax obligations and comprehensive environmental and climate regulation. No one serious believes all externally-imposed commitments are avoidable or oppressive.

I (and OP) wrote about (informal) duties defined by society as a whole, not (explicit) laws approved and enforced by government. Laws are necessary minimum to have functioning society and can handle these kinds of problems.
