It all depends on the distance, volume of traffic,
visibility, and local knowledge combined with communications
available.

If I were halfway across Puget Sound or Jaun de Fuca,
between the lanes and got caught in fog good seamanship
would be required to get back to shore, wouldn't it.

Leaving Port Angeles for Victoria in a zero vis fog would
not be the act of a prudent mariner.

Do you think taking a kayak across a TSS in fog is a responsible maneuver?

See above.

Do you think taking a kayak across a TSS in fog shows that you have
observed all precautions required by the circumstances of the fog?

See above. A good ear, a pair of eyes, a handheld radio and
a flashlight might do the job nicely. Most seakayakers carry
much much more in this part of the world.

Do you think taking a kayak across a TSS in fog shows a due regard to
all dangers of navigation and collision?

Due regard? All that means is being aware both situationally
and "environmentally" and being prepared for any reasonable
but unplanned circumstance that might arise. The same regard
as any prudent marine would take before leaving the dock.
