    The only single argument I ever once heard against the inheritance tax being really high that I thought was worth anything: in theory if all your wealth was tied up in hard assets that can’t be easily divided up you could inherit a debt. The example was a farm. Which even then it is a fixable problem for that one edge case, just make it so if it is a farm you can spread payments out instead of all at once.
