I have found those to be the very best value for raw track time, with the caveat that some are gated by need to have a full or novice competition license and a competition car with a log book

Those are definitely the best value for pure track time; the problem comes as you said, some require some sort of comp license, and others don't require any sort of training at all. Both of those have issues. Comp license means you're probably not driving in the HPDE equivalent of your local club, and no license required means anyone and everyone out there can get on the track, and it can get kind of hairy.
