I do architecture photography. The worse part is that I know the client probably won’t notice the difference. How do you know when enough is enough?

Depends!
I have a rule with art photography, wherein I don’t allow too many layers without flattening the image. Taught me to learn when enough was enough and to stop second guessing myself.
That said, for my professional work I did have to figure out how much was “enough”. And indeed, sometimes small things get noticed. Something I like to do on airplanes is mark up fashion magazines with a sharpie, identifying the lighting setups and other technical aspects of photography. I’ve seen plenty of technical mistakes in large ad campaigns.
