The toilet is the main thing tha needs a septic, but the kitchen sink
tends to have

greasy water and with a garbage disposal it's worse. Either way, the
kitchen sink should also go to the septic.

In reading some old "do it yourself" books, I've read that it used to be
that a small grease trap (looked like a miniature septic tank) was put in
the kitchen drain line just outside the foundation. Then the water
continued on to the main septic tank. The grease trap was cleaned out now
and then as it had a visible lid on top.

Yeah, and probably rarely emptied. I have BTDT for grease traps in
industrial sinks. One should get at least triple pay for just lifting
the lid on one of those.
