As for the materials crossing between different classes, each still lists just a single item type. I organize by types like "Ingredient" or "Reagent" rather than "materials I use as Culinarian" or "materials I use as Alchemist". That way, even if I have to go to multiple retainers to get all the items I'll need, I at least know which of them would have any particular material, since each of my retainers has certain item types they hold.

(Of course, that doesn't help in regards to the real problem of lack of space, but at least it aids in organizing the stuff I have and where it's spread out across multiple retainers.)
