The purpose of practicing the open D fingering (overblown 12th of throat G) is not to use it in a concert performance for a sustained note. It is, as rdc says, best used for fast notes (for example in the famous rapid clarion to altissimo passage early in the Carl Nielsen Concerto). The purpose is to develop the combined lip/jaw/tongue/palate anatomical apparatus that voices the tone and modifies pitch. As you work hard to steady and deepen the sound of the open D to match the better acoustical fingerings, you give yourself a valuable lesson in tone production that adds confidence to your playing and helps "set" and steady the double lip embouchure.

As a general rule, whenever you are playing a note that is not naturally supportive of balancing the clarinet, you look to see what other fingers are available that can be recruited into the service of balancing and stabilizing the instrument. You ask "what fingers can I put down that will give me more security without changing the pitch or tone quality of the note?" That requires considerable personal exploration and trial and error. Playing scales in 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, and 6ths, in all keys gives you ample opportunity to discover exactly what you can do with your fingers on any given interval to steady your balance and make the feel of the instrument more secure in your hands and between your lips.
