I still went ahead and changed four corners at once, since I wanted a brake compound with more bite than OEM, shorter stopping distance, and minimal pedal sink.

One of the extra causes of rear brake wear is the x-drive feature of modulating oversteer. In addition to shifting the torque, it uses the DSC braking function. I'm not sure how much this contributes, but it's there!
