My EV trike (tadpole config) is pretty sensitive to toe in. It is indeed squirrely-er when it is most efficient. You want toe in so that when one wheel hits a bump the other wheel tends to center the vehicle not send it wide. You can really feel it of it is neutral or toe out.
I think you always want a little toe in, never anything else, and only a little tiny bit, no need for the complication of on the fly adjustment.
