It's the toe. Camber isn't usually a problem until you exceed -2.5 degrees. Mine came from the factory at -1.0. I run my Supra at -1.5 on all four corners without any wear issues at all.
Get the toe right and all will be well.
It seems there's a LOT of variability in the factory's alignment for the 2IS models. My 350 wore tires perfectly except for my driving. My F has not, despite my driving.

I'm going to the dealer tomorrow and want them to come up with a toe that will midigate inside wear up front. Haven't noticed abnormal wear on my rear, is that common for any of you here?

This is complete hogwash. No modern car has positive camber. See attached for IS-F alignment specs: (Also note the toe in specified at the rear is identical to the MkIV Supra spec, and I found it to be an inside edge killer so I came up with these specs.)

Mine were within spec, but definitely bald on the inside. Is it possible that those who are needing the camber kit to help with pull to one side, may also need to adjust camber to prevent balding? Or should camber not be associated with baldness.

Within spec is not good enough. The numbers need to be ON spec, not just showing green on the alignment computer. You could have quite a bit of toe out in front, balding inside edges in 15k miles, and still be within factory specs.
