Providing no Bb clarinetist ever needed to play any other size clarinet, and providing you were willing to expend the money and effort to convert all existing scores and parts to concert pitch, then yes.
But clarinetists who had to pick up an Ab or Eb or D or C or A clarinet or basset horn, alto clarinet, etc., would -- if these parts were also notated in concert pitch -- have to learn and remember a different correspondence between written note and fingering for each of these instruments.
Recorder players do that -- soprano and alto recorders, for example, are both notated at concert pitch (actually an octave down, I think) so the fingering that produces C on one produces F on the other. They cope. Then again, recorder fingering is simpler than clarinet.
