If you're running a useful amount of negative camber, anything other than dead ahead will scrub the insides off your tyres faster than you'll believe.
I dropped mine 40mm, didn't bother getting the tracking done as I was having new tyres fitted a week later.
By that time, both Pirelli P6000s were bald over the inside 2-3 inches
Conversely, the Toyo Proxes T1-Rs on the front now have done 15k, including a 'Ring trip and have at least 6mm of tread left right across.

If it's on track then you want about 1mm toe in on the rear and 1-2mm toe out on the front, will help heat tyres quicker and sharpen turn in, might induce mid corner understeer a tad though but it's what most racers run

Where would these measurements be taken? I would have measured toe in/out like camber and castor, in degrees.
But you're probably right that, for a track car, tyre wear isn't the biggest issue
