Once you have threaded that arm out 20mm for your -4 degrees of camber your presumption of adequate is just that.

I'll stick with something proven to stand up to the abuse we all dish out. A 20mm shim.

so you know how much thread remains engaged at a 20 mm extension? i'd suggest that you are the one making presumptions?

btw, max shim is 16mm and thats another $32 per side. ps, i've seen a car go into the wall when the shim popped out of his rear lower control arm. it was a lambo, though.

I think your making some pretty big assumptions. The extension of the arm is minimal at 3.5 degrees of camber, in fact there is barely any thread showing. It could easily go 4+ without much more extension.

To each his own I guess, I didn't want to bother with shims or throw out $1000 dollars worth of arms when the ball joint goes or I tear the boot removing them to replace a wheel bearing. I prefer stuff that is easily user serviceable with replaceable parts.
