Others say that by doing this is a bad idea because the pin helps to align the strut.

What's different by doing this when compared to adding the camber plates?
At first, I thought that the pin helps keep the strut in place, but now I don't know for sure.
Popping the pin will offer only a slight increase in negative camber, whereas camber plates will provide much more. There really is no drawback to removing the pin, but it's probably best to have it done before a scheduled alignment.
