I used 1 new set per car for a full day's practice, and then 2 sets for each car for the actual racing. The used sets from racing I re-used at the next club day. I know wear is higher in Mod, but ruined after 1 run is a bit of an exaggeration.
I agree with your point though. If you can find a tyre with good traction that is a little longer lasting, that's the better option.
