With the exception of people like Mozart, Weber, Mendelssohn, Brahms who knew the clarinet intimately as played by their good friends, the greatest clarinetists of the respective period, mostly anything written for clarinet is useless or unsatisfying at the least.

This would seem to me not only to be opinionated, but an expression of an ill-informed opinion. I assume you are aware of the works of Saint-Saens, Poulenc, Finzi, Sir Arthur Bliss, John McCabe and Horowitz, to give a few random examples.
