You really can't depend on silkscreen layers for assembly anymore, with the size of the parts and limited room for silk.

We use one layer for silk, another for MMC part outlines, and another to add additional placement clearance for parts that need it.  One layer for silkscreen legends, another for assembly legends.

But we do assembly drawings in our 3D modeling software.  We need the 3D model for higher level assemblies anyway, assembly drawings in PCB CAD programs are pretty clunky.
