It depends on how much rehearsal time you want to waste. I would put f-natural because of the nearly immediately preceding f#. I would be e-(nat) (that is, parenthesized natural) because of the cross relation in the lower part. (The parentheses are necessary because you are not canceling an altered tone in the alto part itself.)
Maybe there are some stylistic reasons to omit them. But in my experience, almost no reasonable courtesy accidentals are unhelpful. Anything you can do to minimize error or confusion should be done.
