Toe just tends to speed up the wear - unless it's really excessive, then you get the funny wear patterns.
Dropping it 1.25" is a bit much for not having camber correction in the rear. The TRD springs were 0.75"-1" and rear camber looked to be almost perfect, maybe a touch too high. I wouldn't go past 1" without having correction available.
Depending on your sway bar and tire selection it might work for you, but IMO your rear camber numbers are too high. I haven't heard of tires made for "aggressive" camber. Really there's two schools of thought for tire construction: 1, we build a tire that works best when it's fully square on the road, and the end user is responsible for figuring out the correct camber that achieves that for their particular setup; and 2, we build a tire that cares less about camber so that the extremely camber limited user doesn't have such a sucky life.
In fact some past models have tried so hard to service school of thought number 2 that they come beveled to make up for the lack of camber, so at max body roll the tire carcass is bent over but the tread face is square with the road. But I digress. The school of thought number 1 is that anyone with too much camber didn't get there without the ability to dial it back.

Sway bars are stock, sticking with the V720 for now. Eventually I'll get another set of wheels with slicks, Hankook or Hoosier not sure yet.
