Would workers owning the company not reduce this fraction to zero?

It would. Eliminating the HR would reduce the overhead from HR to zero. Eliminating the tax office would reduce money spent on that to zero. But these things fulfill a function. Could it be done better? Maybe, but why risk on maybes when that’s not the biggest problem we have with society at all. Probably not even be top 10.
