I don't think there are reeds that are unsuitable for beginners. I wouldn't start a 10-year-old beginner on Vandorens or anything else beyond a minimal price level because the average 10-year-old can go through reeds at a fantastic rate at the beginning, especially energetic, fidgety kids who aren't always aware of where their arms and hands are and what they're doing. The can destroy a lot of reeds by scraping them against shirts and sweaters, jamming ligatures and mouthpiece caps into them, banging them against their front teeth, etc...

There aren't any reeds that are unsuitable for a reasonably self-aware adult who is careful in handling the reeds during assembly, while playing and during disassembly. You have to find the right strength to go with your mouthpiece. But if the reed plays easily with a clear sound on your mouthpiece, it's fine whatever your level of playing.
