We never have specified sid= option ... because we always use spfile.

one spfile for all instances.  

you use alter system but there is a sid= parameter that allows for instance granularity.  

For example,  

to affect all instances:  

alter system set db_cache_size = 500m scope=both sid=*;  

or to affect one:  

alter system set db_cache_size = 500m scope=both sid=<instance_1>;  

You can also specify a list of instances.  

If you don't specify any sid, then I believe it affects instance you're connected to only.

Our spfile is shared by all instances in the RAC ...

SPFILE is instance specific, modified by "alter system", not by "alter database". That means that RAC doesn't affect it. You can try with raw device for the pfile, if you can do something like "vi /dev/rdsk/c0d1s2" (I hate ###@$!### Emacs). If you can, please let me know which system allows that.
