I think the best way to find a good woodwind doubler is to find someone who is truly a good musician that just happens to play more than one instrument
As someone who double majored in undergrad in clarinet / saxophone and then went on to my MM in multiple woodwinds, I really think the success to being a successful doubler is both time practicing and proportion to your musicianship on your primary instrument. If you're a monster clarinet player, you have the ability to reach that same level of musicianship on oboe, or bassoon, or even trombone with proper time.
Too many people I run into that try the doubling thing end up spread too thin and struggle develop their musicianship as they are held back by too many mechanical constraints of the instruments.
A lot of well known names posted in this thread to look up but have fun searching them out on your own!
