I doubt any difference in tone will be noticed no matter what the tenons are lapped with or not lapped at all provided they're well fitting in their respective sockets.

Bassoon tenons are often threaded to add strength to them and make assembly easier than having corked tenons. Bassoon tenons are incredibly thin compared to clarinet tenons as well as being made from much lower density maple (talking German bassoons here). The narrower long joint tenon is notoriously weak - some only having around a 1mm wall thickness between the tenon slot and the bore. This tenon is sometimes tapered to follow the taper of the bore to add more strength and also to make assembly easy without putting any undue stress on the tenon.
