I think your question is if there's a different optimal-amount of reverb
for the pure sonority of each instrument while in the mix, which is good
for the overall sonority of the recording, and if there is, then if there's
an acceptable range of give and take between this pure sonority and
sense-of-space.

If that's what he is asking, that is totally a matter for the listener.
I am firmly in the "sense of space at all costs" camp, but not everyone
feels the way I do.

And those Joan Baez records with the plate on the vocal and the dry guitar
drive me up the wall...
