I'm a huge proponent of using all compounds on Very Fast tyre wear, & then letting the community sort out through testing what the status quo is, though of course it's all relative to fuel consumption. I've outlined previously the advantages, but briefly & non-exclusively they are :
-incentive to practise ( tyre strategies ) ongoing
-encouragement for ingenuity
-bolsters the strengths of the car relative to the driver's handling tastes or traits (consistent laps/fast laps!)
-potential for unpredictable races (Like F1, it doesnt need to be a cracker every week. Some will be standard with everyone on similar strategy & some will be diffuse)
So I'll posit again, RM as a mandatory one stint minimum control tyre, & then everything else is open slather.
If I was Bernie Ecclestone, I would allow different compounds on the Front & Rear frankly... It's not as simple as matching tyre wear levels across the car, as that will potentially ruin the latent handling of the car, or even make you slower.
I don't know. I know that Sunday GT6 has been a thoroughly control car series for a long time, but Project CARS & the F1 series has setup as an extreme factor. Gran Turismo has remained a stagnant control series. Community events on GT6 have had setup as a part of it, but the very nature of those events determines that you'll never toil for hours on preparing for those events, because they are often devalued.
Anyway, GT has been successful as a control series thus far, so just ignore my ramblings if that suits 
Currently, there are only twofold things to do before each weekend:
1. Brake bias (10 laps total if you have an in-car brake lever control, maybe 15 laps without)
2. Tyre & fuel wear (maybe 15 laps on the mandatory compound)
That's it. Otherwise just try & get quicker.
Anyway, don't worry. I love the series formula but just lament continually that GT has so much breadth of tracks, cars & features yet they are never seen in a true professional league capacity; they only get rolled out in arcade public lobbies where Boost is Strong & SRF is on steroids...
Sorry for rocking the boat. I'm honestly fine with whatever. The GTR rocks
