I have to agree with Mark: figure out for yourself where the
diminishing returns begin and go with that. Besides, I still get
flummoxed by questions I never anticipate. For example, I sometimes
get asked if an accidental in one octave affects another octave.
(Where are these otherwise fine musicians taught anyway?) I find it an
especially strange question when the music is far from tonal.

But, like it or not, there are composers, editors and performers out
there who try to abide by the 19th century rule on this. Yes, they are
wrong, but to avoid wrong notes in performances of _your_ music, the
best thing is for you to put in the accidentals in the other octaves.
It's not so hard, and it increases readability for musicians who may be
spending the rest of the week playing music written under the old rules.
(Just some advice from a performer in an orchestra that has played a ton
of new music written under all the different rules.)
