Limits on referential integrity

How much referential integrity should be implemented in Oracle? We are starting a large new Java project. Our current applications keep their referential integrity inside their own dictionary, so I haven't had to deal much with referential integrity recently. Can there be too much of a good thing? What guidelines do you tend to use? At this point the developers are designing the data model so they are busily linking all the little boxes. My attitude at this point is "implement what you've got and if there are performance problems we'll deal with them when they arise". Can anyone give me a better motto?
Thanks.
