Two things to consider:
1) Does the insurance company that covers the event (if there is one)
have anything to say on the subject? Chances are they will require
camber compensators.
2) At any autox you will have a few novices who do not know the limits
of their cars. These are the people who really need the compensators.
I have seen a swing axle Spit tuck its axel underneath and lose it,
all it takes is one car rolling over and everyone starts asking why
the compensators weren't required. Save yourself a lot of headaches,
make camber compensators manditory. If they are only recommended
the people who need them will be the very people who figure that they
don't.
