Okay, I have a really, really deep Chasm. Here's my plan.

I want to floor/bridge over every single floor of the Chasm. Naturally, this will require a massive military extermination project, of course. I have like, four Resident Named Giant Cave Swallowmen.

See, I want to floor over every single floor of the chasm, so I can harvest cave spider silk en masse, basically turning it into a massive silk farm. (I don't need the Chasm to Chasm stuff, since I have the magma chute next door, I can just Magma Flow them).

But will I have monsters constantly spawning in my silk farm?

i'm not entirely sure about this, but whenever i have a chasm, theres always a chance of an ambush appearing out of nowhere. Always been a GCS though for me, so i just make some nifty 2 layered walls (something attachable to a lever next to a fortification) so that the spiders shoot webs at my military dwarfs i leave near the opening, then i hit the lever to block Line of Sight so i can harvest the new webbing 

In other words, i'd assume that even if you blocked it off, you would have nasty little monsters popping up anyways every once in a while.

Monsters in chasms DO NOT respawn, if I remember correctly. However, GCSs start out invisible until they get close to you, so don't be surprised to be attacked by one once in a while, even if the unit list doesn't show any after your genocide.
