True - there's no question that artistic license is involved. I guess it's up to individual listeners and musicians to decide whether such doublings are excessive - perhaps on a case by case basis.
The story I always like is that in one of the Vaughan Williams symphonies, one of the wind parts is buried by the strings in one section. One conductor (Boult?) was worried about this and asked RVW what should be done so that the wind part could be heard. Vaughan Williams replied that he didn't WANT the wind player to be heard in that place - he only wrote that part in so that the player could "warm up" a bit before his solo a few measures later! ;-)
