Yes, I've noticed wheel and pedal reflectors really stand out on unlit bikes, like a couple of radioactive frogs leaping down the road.
I've put reflective tape round the axles of my pedals and on the rims to supplement the shoes. My lights are definitely limited for side on visibility.
I have considered putting the rear light on steady, but never had a problem with the blinky one and I think being mistaken for a motor vehicle is more helpful from in front than behind anyway, I don't mind if people pull out of sidestreets behind me.
