I have fewer complaints with #'clef than anything other option. I tried Mats' 
example in 2.9.27 and marks seemed to be little offset to the left, but it's a 
minor nitpick and it certainly fixes the problem of collisions with key and 
time signatures.

I was worried about what would happen if there was a rehearsal mark at the 
beginning of the piece, but that doesn't seem to move at all.

So to answer your question in a roundabout way, if #'clef doesn't become 
default I will be adding it to all of my scores from now on!
