The problem is not the (modern) material itself but the lacking experience and knowledge of the clarinet makers about. Most of them are experts with the Grenadilla, but they hate and avoid ebonite and/or other synthetic stuff.
That's the problem.
The material matters, and the geometry and manufacturing procedure is to adapt well. If you don't so, the result must come horrible (lie we know about well;-).
See Tom Ridenour in USA or Hanson in GB! Both of them ventured a trip inside new fields, and both of them did/do impressive instruments! See the market allover, and you'll find, that poor quality instruments from wood are often as fine synthetic too...
The mind of the players has to shape, and I assume the GreenLine philosophy a good way - use the rests instead of burning, do a fine job on a fine and modern material... Should be the way, or what.?

PS: One very important person in my life gave me a hint many years ago. He said: "New theory don't make the way by the best arguments. It only enforces by the dead of the former theory's spokesmen." He's right ;-) Let us wait and see!
