I understand the appeal of life insurance for passing on a nest egg to future generations without the tax burden, but I can't see how to accumulate a nest egg worth worrying about unless I invest in my business, and investing in life insurance comes out of what can be invested in the business...

Obviously depends on your numbers.
When mother did her will we valued the land at the time. Divided by number of children. I paid premiums on sibling share paid out in insurance. I got the land. Just my story. If a lot of cash and equity then there's tax shelter vehicles, annuities blah blah.
How and who paying capital gains??
Lots of land sold just to pay it.
Warning. In hindsight the land went up in value over 15 years, the insurance payout did not. My appreciation risk frozen. But my siblings could've bought a hell of a lot more with same dollars back then. Should've bought it outright at the time. We'd still be talking. Only damn thing I could get out of Mom at the time. Better than nothing at all.
Lesson. Teach your kids to talk. And educate yourself.
Listen to ten shiny pants salesman to get to that one good one.
Open your eyes. Remember, your gonna die.
