Should I be worried? My pacing isn't super fast, but I think decent. (1:44.89 @ Laguna with RE71R and mostly stock car for example) And if I should be worried, what's a good solution without killing myself come CARB/smog time?

This is the dilemma because you are running hard enough for the cat to really heat up beyond perhaps normal operating conditions. Anything can happen...its like rod bearings - unlikely but if it happens wow it's costly.
If you don't mind the additional noise a catless x pipe will get rid of the risk but for smog you would have to swap back the stock x pipe and there are some additional prep to get the OBD into readiness which I understand is a bit of a pain in the ass.
My issue is bit more problematic because i want to remove the primary cats while keeping stock noise level.
