I’m not so familiar with Rabbi Millers approach but as you mention it is probably not so relevant anymore. Could you explain how the reason a kollel guy shouldnt take government handouts is because “a man is supposed to work”?
it is more likely because it is wrong to expect the average (non-jewish) tax payer to support your kollel lifestyle.
regarding your question about challenge going to treife college. this (or the treife workplace itself) has been a struggle for most frum yidden in past 100 years (200 years if you include western Europe). what im saying is that various specific challenges have been addressed and continue to be addressed. I would say its probably better to look at more contemporary advice
