also, it all begs the question - is body roll bad? if all a sway bar does is translate body roll into downward force on the outside tire, why not just live with the roll and use the additional grip for more lat-G?

Interesting question.
I realize it's a vastly different situation, but dirt track cars actually USE body roll to corner. They don't use anti-roll bars at all, and do "fly" the inside tire a lot. Look up 'late models" to see some really creative suspension. Those things, while quite ugly, have some very sophisticated rear suspension which make F1 cars look like Model Ts!
