First show me a teshuva on the subject at all.  I don't know of any.
If there were a teshuva on the subject then it would have to cite this
Rambam.

It doesn't override, it doesn't contradict.  This Rambam says that
Shevet Levi and all who join them don't serve. He has no need to
repeat it later, so kedarko he doesn't; he expects you to remember it.

I don't know whether he addresses it at all, or what he says about it
if so, but it speaks for itself.
