A bunch of our CMS sites use jquery accordions (ex http://www.has.vcu.edu/prospective.html ) To CMS these, I disable the jquery in RedDot. Then I use containers for each section. I never show accordions, tabs, or many other jquery effects in the CMS because it tends to confuse our users. Plus, on this site, http://www.brandcenter.vcu.edu, keeping the jquery enabled actually interferes with editing content. If you open the container on the bottom scrolls, the scroller resets. It's very confusing for content editors.
I also turn off some videos because they don't work properly in the CMS often times. So I would say - not and overkill.
