You rightly point out, Karl, that no clarinet is perfectly in tune. I get a sense from the poster that having the tuner present in the room now is a novelty. So any adjustment will feel 'big' until they become second nature.

It is also correct to say that you should have a clarinet that has the least number of pitch irregularities (or smallest degree of pitch difference) as possible. But experience with the tuner, if it is indeed a new thing, will make even the smallest differences seem bigger until more familiarity with the process takes place.

Don't forget there is ALSO the change in pitch which occurs when we change dynamics. This can even be MORE dramatic than the note to note tuning and needs to be addressed in the same "ears ON" method.
