What I am trying to find now is some input on what to do with the rear when I go to get my alignment confirmed and fine tuned at a good shop (want to see how good my measurements are, and don't want to try adjusting the rear myself for many reasons.) I am pretty sure I read somewhere that a little bit of toe out is desirable in the rear for autocross, but increases instability at high speed. I already seem to have rear toe out, and like the way the car has always felt on the road and at the track, never felt unstable.
I autocross frequently, do about 3-4 track days per year, and daily drive the car about 8 months of the year in good weather.
My greatest concern is the risk of snap oversteer, especially at the track. I have a HUGE increase in front grip now, which I counterbalanced somewhat by installing the M3 convertible front sway bar, but wonder what I should do with the rear toe to improve stability and maximize grip when powering out of corners.

You got it backwards.
A little toe out is good in the front for autox since it gives great turn-in.
Toe out in the back would be scary bad in almost all situations.
