I Think the debate isn't about self permitting, but just skipping permitting at all. I wouldn't be too worried about doing that, as long as you don't plan on selling. Odds of them find it are low (the addition might show up on aerials for property taxes, but normally the property tax people aren't the permits people). What will they do if they do find it? Maybe something, upto condemning the home? Maybe nothing. The septic alone, go for it, it's underground, and noone will ever know.
How about just self permitting the addition as a office, and closet. Then once finaled out, then install toilet/sink in the 'closet', and hard to tell a bedroom from an office. Office shouldn't trigger additional septic capacity, that's based on bedrooms.
