It is a clarinet mouthpiece, all right. But just like metal sax
mouthpieces have smaller outside dimensions than rubber ones, metal
clarinet mouthpieces apparently do, too. It would take a little getting
used to, I am sure, but, speaking from sax experience, it is not all THAT
hard to do. On the other hand, perhaps the current popularity level of
metal clarinet mouthpieces is telling us something.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
