My rears are wearing smooth, but heavy on the inside. Could I decrease the camber a bit without significant handling loss?

You should buy adjustable camber arms.
You will never get even wear on rear tires as you have a split rear axle.
Split rear axles gives a smoother ride but has a compromise making uneven wear on rear tires.
Can't have it all!
Everything's a compromise.

Non divided rear axles on older cars gives less comfortable ride but rear tire wear is a lot better across tire tread if all 4 wheels are properly aligned.
Like I said, life's a compromise same thing with automotive industry coming up with new inventions.

Yes, that's right. Seeing the W203 has only front and rear Toe directional adjustment OEM we have invented and patented front Camber and Caster kits plus rear Camber (and extra Toe) kits.

To allow to adjust tire contact angles, spread load more evenly, gain traction.

Catering for other then showroom height conditions. “Ongoing” adjustment for day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads, wheel squat through load carrying or lowering. Fitting wide profile tires, curb knocks etc.
