My personal opinion: yes, if you've settled on a specific orthography.
For example, if you keep changing your mind whether to use "oe" or "ö"
or "ø" for /2/, then S must be less than 5, but if you consistently
use the same Latin/Cyrillic/whatever letter(s) in a given lexeme --
not necessarily for a given sound -- then I'd say give it S5.
So I'd interpret S as "script/orthography" -- a conlang with a
conscript with a fixed set of glyphs but where I haven't decided what
sound(s) "[squiggle]" represents or whether to spell [word] with
[squiggle] or [squiggle] doesn't merit a high S.
