As far as the reason to glue sidewalls, you can generally glue up the tires and not change your car a ton. If the first thing you do is change all the camber links and shock oil, your car is going to be much different to drive. Now you may have different problems.

Beyond the glue, the way to think of preventing traction rolling is to keep the car rolling within the limits of its suspension. If you watch a car that snap rolls of the track, it's like a door hinge. The car immediately transfers so much weight so fast it just lifts the wheels. If the car can roll more in the confines of the suspension, and does it in a slower fashion, it won't start lifting the tires.
