First of all, check out the examples I cited before you knock it. (Bartok's 3rd Quartet is chock full of nearly every situation you can imagine.) Just because the lines pierce the noteheads does not mean they obscure the accis.
Secondly, I find (for myself) that my intuitive sense of what ought to be right has often led me astray. Therefore, if I can find authoritative examples from standard rep. (as I think the Bartoks clearly are), I imitate those examples, unless I have a specific and compelling reason not to. (If a certain example were hard to do in Finale, that would be neither a specific nor a compelling reason not to do it. But I hope this audience would offer little disagreement on that point.) Ymmv.
