I've used it on FWD cars. Even those were unstable.
Toe out creates over steer. Which the S2000 doesn't need.
The only time I've "tried" toe out is when I raised my car and hadn't had it aligned yet. I didn't track it. But it didn't feel too great on the road either.

Definitely need to toe adjusted front and rear. Go 0.0 in the front and +.20 total toe POSITIVE in the rear. Camber looks okay to me for the street, but I'd get them to make sure it's even on both sides. Looks like a half-assed alignment job to me.

You can be off .1 degree of camber, you can be .3 degrees off and you won't notice no matter how hard you try. Dynamically your camber toe and caster change just from the grading of the road. The second you drive off the alignment rack you've already slightly altered your alignment. Unless you have solid spherical bushings there's always going to be bushing deflection which is going to affect your dynamic alignment settings. That's why the specs not only have a range but also a cross component, the only thing that doesn't have a tolerance is rear thrust angle, but truthfully you need at least .3 degrees of rear thrust angle left or right before you even notice it in the steering wheel.

The OEM bushings are very good but they don't last forever. If you properly clock your bushings or never modify your suspension they can last over 150,000 miles.
