What would you say is a realistic period to use Mid and Late War skins?

Use the civilian skins from 1939 to late 1940. Around the beginning of 1941 most British ships should be camoflaged, so use the camo one for 1941 onwards. For early 1942 you may want to alt-tab and run the program if you get close to the US East Coast, since many American ships remained uncamoflaged until the summer of that year. After mid-1942, though, pretty much every large ship you meet should be in camo.
I read some interesting stuff about the dangers of uncamoflaged ships once. In one 1940 HX convoy the "Janus", a Swedish tanker, was placed next to two British tankers. The "Janus" had a bright gray and white paint scheme and was so visible in the full moon that all three ships were spotted and sunk - fortunately, with light casualties.
