I'm not able to support the weight of the clarinet with my right thumb at all, but I have a sling that holds the whole weight, so I can even play no-hands. It's one of these:

I don't use a neck strap with it, but a shoulder strap like this:

https://www.dawkes.co.uk/bg-sax-harness-support-sling-s40m-male-large-metal-hook-harness/250

I chose that sling because it gives me more freedom to move my neck when I'm playing.

I also have a kooiman thumb rest so I can control the rotation of the clarinet while playing.

I will attach a photo so you can see.

I had to have my register key extended so I can reach it with my other thumb, but it works fine now the extension is in place.
