Metal mouthpieces are common in the sax world. Some of these, made of softer metal (e.g. brass or copper-nickel) are as easy to reface as hard rubber, while others (e.g. stainless steel) are difficult, but still do-able (I'm currently refacing five stainless steel Berg Larsen mouthpieces for a customer).
The end results can be as good or as bad as hard rubber, depending on the refacer's skill. One thing is sure about metal mouthpieces (besides aluminum): they are heavy! Functionally there is reason not to make metal clarinet mouthpieces. The real stumbling block is "tradition" (i.e. the conservatism of the user community).
