Too many ill-considered clef changes is indeed a complaint worth paying attention to.
The use of C-clefs is interesting in the case of bassoons and cellos. It seems the players are much more comfortable in those clefs if they are playing in a high range on their instruments. In common practice music, this was the principal use for C clefs on those instruments. By contrast classical tenor trombone parts are in tenor clef almost entirely throughout the range of the instrument, and alto trombone parts are similarly (effectively) 100% in alto clef. This is why I singled trombonists out as being particularly comfortable reading C clefs.
