Yeah I don't think people realize just how much better modern tires are. Even tires from the modern era--I think someone recently took 15-20 seconds off the Carrera GT's 'Ring time just with 2024 tires vs. those available at the car's launch.
On Ventus RS4 even my little SC will bounce between 1 - 1.2g as it shimmies through a corner.

Yeah fast in fast out is always better.
Slow in fast out is for learning and is good for intermediate drivers. Getting the "fast in" part right is what separates HPDE champs from paid racing drivers. Watching Leh Keen back a classic 911 in from start of braking through the apex is what that looks like. Something good to aspire to, but far from attainable unless you're really willing to risk a crash or two.
Pick the corners with good run-off and practice there, I say.
Edit: That reminds me... this was me practicing just that at CMP some years ago:

Please ignore my adrenaline fueled laugh, it was a moment! Also I forgot how bad the camera angle was in this video.
