In light of all this, I'm trying to figure out how the black tank in my previous TT stayed clean for 13 years with no attention other than making sure there was lots of water in the tank when I dumped.
If you're the only one using the RV and you do this, sure it will be fine.
If however, you're buying a second hand unit, or someone else used the unit, it's a different story.
There's an old joke, "If is the biggest little word in the English language."
I mostly just use lots of water. My bathroom sink is connected to the high side of the black tank. If no one is in line behind me at the dump station I dump a couple of small buckets of water through that after pulling the black handle. You can do the same thing dumping a bucket of water through the toilet.
I don't feel the need to get the black tank clean enough to do surgery in. Just want to keep the poo pyramid from building up.
Dump it, throw a bucket of water though it, and go.
