My own take on verse 12 would again be to understand it (whether or not one
converts it into English explicitly so) as perfective, in the sense:
"But the one who gets them performed will live by them" (or "But the one
who has performed them will live by them"). Or--since Paul probably
understands ZHSETAI in an eschatological sense, "will have life by them."

This is a question about the Future tense in general. Could the Future tense
be understood as my translation suggests below:
"But the one who gets them performed will consequently (subsequently) live
by them."
Perhaps seeing the Future used as a "logical consequence." If you get X
done, Y must follow. Almost as we learn in Logic:
If A then B
A
Therefore B
Thank you,
