I have seen "vib" or "non vib," which would certainly imply that vibrato was expected otherwise. I'd have to go back through a whole drawer of music to find specific pieces, but my impression is that they are mostly by 20th century French and American composers.

The Prélude et Scherzo on IMSLP is for bassoon and piano, which seems to be the original version (there's no arranger credited). Vibrato is more universally accepted as part of espressivo than it is for a clarinet. I see no markings for "vib" in the bassoon part, but many "ten." marks over tied notes and a number of "espressivo" and "molto espressivo" markings, all of which would probably call for vibrato from a bassoonist. Maybe the clarinetist is taking a more bassoonistic approach.

Or, maybe vibrato is just part of his normal approach to sustained tone.
