I think IF the restoration was done right, older clarinets should not need extra care comparing to newer ones.
A lot depends on how the instrument was used previously, but still a good repair tech can bring almost any instrument to a nice condition.

A lot also depends on the metal used on a particular clarinet- I found that older Selmer 10 had keys that were practically un-bendable and will easily last 2-3 generations. It would take hours of everyday practice to wear out that key work.

A nicely restored vintage instrument may need less care than modern cheaply made one (IMO)
