My view is this: if there are no decision points or escape routes determined for the route segment being flown it is completely safe to use obstacle strategy. If there are decision points or routes, obedience to whichever strategy or combination of was used to calculated those routes is vital to stay withing desired goals for all of a) obstacle clearance b) endurance c) oxy levels. Even if it means using Fixed Speed strategy over high terrain which of course is completely safe as long as margins between granite and net ceiling are due. Of course, don't forget the ISA and Anti-Ice.
