The real question is:
Is it worth the time and money to shim and pay to check the alignment again (and possibly again, and again to get it right) versus the insignificant tire wear you might see?

In theory if a shop installs the shim while the car is on the rack it maybe done quickly and correctly. It would have to be a good shop though.

I am suspecting there will not be any detectable abnormality due to the fact that the combined toe is comfortably within specs. The lateral force caused by dog tracking of that small extent should be minimal. after all, only one individual toe is borderline and it is, after all, in green.
