Yes, I don't use the :else in that case either.

Your other options are fine at the start, but they get ugly as the
tests and/or branches get more complex.
I don't see how you can say these cases are "easy" when you think (* a
(+ b c)) is suboptimal :) As the expressions grow complex, either the
tests and branches become harder to visually separate, or we have to
do more work to keep two columns lined up, etc. Even the examples of
cond in lisp-hints.txt are kinda all smushed together compared to say
the explicit block delimiters that non-lispers are used to.
The problem is a fundamental one: we're interleaving expressions with
very different semantics.
