We sometimes do the same, but only select "silk" for Package Geometry.
We don't do Board Geometry or refdes since we really don't want them to
be clipped at all. We carefully locate them so they do not need to be
clipped, and we don't want the system second-guessing us. If there's a
refdes that really does not fit on the silkscreen we change the text to
the display layer so it's not really gone, just not plotted.

Hey Richard,
Yes of course, but in a semi automatic way (I don't let Allegro move
around my ref des!).
At the end of the design, I adjust the silk ref des (Ref
Des/Silkscreen_Top) to be out from under the components and not on pads
and vias. I also add lines to point to some ref des in very dense areas
(Board Geometry/Silkscreen_Top). We silk all designators and part
outlines, so the silk gets pretty busy!. We also silk design info, such
as board title, rev and logos.
After the silk ref des is adjusted (can take up to half a day!), I run
auto silk (Manufacture -> Silkscreen...), which takes all of the pieces
and puts them on the Class/Subclass "Manufacturing/Autosilk_Top" &
"Manufacturing/Autosilk_Bottom". I set it up as follows:
Good luck!

All,
Does any one really use Auto silk? If so what settings do you
use?
