While I'm not a cellist, I personally don't see much point in using tenor clef very often in cello parts, since, as you say, bass clef is fine up to around G4 -- at which point, why switch to tenor clef when you're already up in the middle of the treble clef?
As a bassoonist and composer, I never, ever, write the tenor clef, though of course I can read it fluently. Any professional bassoonist, cellist, or trombonist will know how to read the treble clef, and IMO the tenor clef should be retired permanently.
In my youth, I tried to get rid of the alto clef too, but the violists weren't having any...
