-1 isn't really that bad, it's pretty close to stock compared to a 2 inch drop (-2.12) or 2.5 inch drop (probalby around -3).
Yes, tires will wear out extremely fast with bad toe but even after alignment where toe is corrected, too much camber can still cause uneven and therefore quicker wear. It would depend on how much camber and how hard you drive your car because when you corner hard, the negative camber goes positive to the point that it's neutral. But basically yeah, if you have only a small drop with a small change in camber you may not notice a difference as long as you get an alignment and rotate tires (if rear is different than front).
