You will certainly not generate enough heat in the tires driving to and from the track as well for it to be a concern.

The Total Toe in the front and rear is what wears the tires (ie on the insides) the most when street driving. In turn, you wear the outsides of the tires the most when on the track. You will barley wear the tires driving to and from the track. The biggest risk is getting a flat or hitting potholes and knocking the alignment off. Pack a tire plug kit!
Agreed, the "heat cycle" driving to and from the track is not really an issue. I have my GC camber plates set at -3.1 and have no issues. But the way, I have my alignment checked a few times per year....after agressively tracking the M and hitting countless curbs, my settings never change!
