I wouldn't be at all surprised that you would have a problem using your clarinet embouchere on cello. :->

If anyone is applying the wrong embouchere to an instrument, that is either a rookie mistake of a newly minted doubler, or just plain bad technique. Changing your embouchere becomes as fluid as changing key systems with proper instruction and practice. No different than speaking multiple languages fluently, or going back and forth between standard and automatic transmission cars. "Thinking the instrument" is good advice, but should go without saying.

So, back to the original question for the thread, yes, doubling is a worthwhile endeavor. No it won't spoil your embouchere if you recognize that each instrument requires separate technical skills, and you practice each instrument enough to be proficient.
