Interesting to see you quote positive camber though.

Nope, not in favor of any "pulling" to achieve your geometry. There are enough stresses both fore and aft for the rubber bush to deal with as it is. Using it to pull the toe will only cause wear of the bush and then you are back to square one.
The geometry can be perfectly set using the shims and that leaves the trailing arm to deal with it's own problems. In the case of the RMC it runs straight forward so will pull on squat and rebound anyways.
The positive camber was just a starting point and depends on your top mounting point. Static positive camber in some cases can quickly turn negative with very minor body roll.
