In high school band my senior year, I alternated between the little Eb clarinet one day, followed by two days of EEb contra-alto, for most of the year; while playing bass clarinet and tenor and bari saxes in jazz band and outside school. My eefer was the school's Bundy with its stock mouthpiece, and played so flat in the upper register that I'd cut the inside of my lower lip from having to bite so much and so wasn't able to play it two days in a row. While admittedly my example is a bit extreme, I would still say that doubling on various woodwinds can only help your embouchure. I believe I ended that year a much better player on all the instruments.
