I've joked about this a bit, but it does reflect some rather serious thought. Given the peculiar times between the beginning of the JD and the present, I would likely take a Socratic, if not Shermenesque, view to serving in leadership or government. As an artist or a writer, or even a plain advocate in the courts, I could explain a few things, and help people out. But in that Tamino didn't knowingly enter the trials, I suspect he would have very little business being in Sarastro's court afterwards. I have my understanding; it suffices. In a way, it does reconfirm the initial vocation, which was run a bit akew in the context of the NYC industry. Vissi d'arte, &c.
