A 3" drop spring will put the static position of arms deep into the camber curve cycle causing accelerated inner tire wear even if the suspension is aligned. I lived with changing my front tires every 10-15k while I had the drop springs in it. Yes, my truck had stock camber and slightly increased caster at ride height.
Yeah. It's a head scratcher for me. At this point, I'm assuming that the tubular A arms have additional geometry built into them to correct the reverse condition that you mentioned, negative camber and having to use too many shims.
