either way -
a consistent
3 degrees of negative camber is going to change the loading on the wheel bearing
there will be wheel bearing failure problems as a direct result.
imho
On strut it doesn't change to much as angle is fixed ,it does go a little more negative with full depression becuase the link points gets shorter .

wishbone/multilink depends on the length of the arms/links , If you notice many newer multi link FWD suspensions if a lot of weight is on rears or car is lowered it goes way negative . It is how the manufacture sets up the suspension, they can get it to stay pretty much same angle throughout its motion .
Either way I don't see this working for the masses .
