Except that you will be on the IRS’ radar for ever and ever, ie. tax declaration will be mandatory for you at the earliest possible time even if you stop being self employed or your business no longer exists

You should submit a tax declaration regardless. Either it’s required, or you’ll most likely receive a refund. So no, there is no harm; on the contrary.
Since the original poster likely won’t do this anyway, this discussion is pointless.
As a takeaway message: Just submit your tax declaration, even as a working student. In most cases, you’ll get some money back. And send it to your Finanzamt (tax office), not the IRS. The US won’t process your German tax declaration.
Cheers
