The notation is your first guide. The performance tradition is your second. If you want to buck both indicators that's on you. You'd best be extremely convincing and polished with this if you have any hope of getting a positive reaction from a knowledgeable clarinet audience.

If you are just informally exploring some ideas, there's no harm in that. Heck, you can learn tons by rearranging or improvising on a passage like this and have lots of fun in the process.

The secret to knowing what's appropriate is doing your homework - as you are by asking the question, listening, etc. - and then considering WHY you are doing what you are doing and for WHOM.
