I wonder if there's any G35S sedan running (more) aggressive alignment with stock suspension and stock 18" sports rims with minimal camber wear on the tires?

It sounds like you are asking if anyone is running negative camber / \ with stock suspension and stock wheels........ I hope not lol.

Why do you say that, do you just mean as far as looks go?
As far as handling, it's an improvement.

I mean i was talking about looks and performance, but i guess its not a bad idea if you can get it into specs that would improve performance without destroying tires in a short period of time lol.

Stock height still has negative camber, but I don't see the point of running aggressive camber on stock height and wheels. Kind of redundant.

i guess what i meant wasn't AGGRESSIVE aggressive, but like more -ve camber than OEM spec, and not in a way that would destory the tires.

but i suppose in the long run, if i DD with more -ve camber, it would destory the tires anyway

I guess it depends on how you drive. If you're pretty aggressive in turns, then you'll likely wear the tires less if they have a tad more negative camber, which would tend to minimize scrubbing the outsides of the tire. I definitely think there is a happy medium between a conservative stock alignment spec and a full on performance spec. You should be able to pick up a little handling boost without suffering the BMW X5 syndrome.

If this is your DD and you're on OEM suspension I'd probably just keep everything with spec, and invest in some good quality tires for spirited driving.
