Yes, in the 1950s and 60s, the 5RV and the 2RV (probably the same mouthpiece just branded differently) were not considered "intermediate" at all. Louis Cahuzac played that facing (though on the Vandoren Diamond Perfecta), and other top-deck performers such as the Swiss clarinetists Robert Gugolz and Eduard Brunner, and the French Heni Druart and Andre Boutard used it for both solo and orchestral work.
A good 5RV gives a robust, resonant tone that is clear and projects well; it has a wide dynamic range, good intonation across the full range, and is focused and centered. It doesn't have the "darkness" and "cover" in vogue now or the greatest tonal depth, but it is nicely balanced and easy to control.
