No, it's not just that some would be better off than others. There would be entire states that would be destitute without the federal government. Multiple states receive more in federal aid/grants/etc. than what their people pay in taxes. Removing the federal government would instantly throw them into bankruptcy. There would be famines.

I'm not assuming there's an easy way out. Fixing the federal government will be one of the hardest projects in the country's history. But dissolving it won't fix anything, and it surely won't make revolution any easier. Kinda hard to revolt when you're dying of hunger.
