<snip>It is a question of what is "good enough" vs overkill, and is a personal choice IMHO<snip>
True..

The one that would bug "me" is the crack on the side of the fuse...The rest are pretty minor and I'd consider cosmetic repairs...But the one on the side you might as well say the fuse is cracked in two (note: I havn't seen in person...Just judging from the photos)...This one **I'd** wanna treat as a load bearing structural repair...

If your familiar with the SkyMaster (or you might be able to tell from the photos??)...The upper portion of the fuse (Turtledeck) is removable for access to the tuned pipe...So the crack on the side is actually through the Fuselage portion of the Airframe...The Turtledeck is not effected...

Just My .02...

Edit: FYI..Here are some better scans of some typical Aircraft Composite repairs...
