For non-fiction, I think I have always unconsciously followed the GP rule, because I don't remember any book, good or bad, that lacked one.
Fiction, of course, rarely gets one.

I can't think of any fiction that has an index. Do you have examples?

Answering my own question: the American Society for Indexers has a list.
