For me, having a few silk screen arrangement iterations once all electric routing is finished is mandatory. I take care on a per pad basis not to have any writing on pads. And also avoid having writing over vias, which makes the printing unreadable. And no matter how good the libraries are, you will always have to manually take care that the writing does not get over vias, or over he pads of adjacent components.

All of the board houses that I have used In my experience yes, it can be. Even if the board house will fix it for you, a customer who chooses to look over the Gerbers is likely to complain.
