"I know I'll NEVER be able to make Wind Ensemble with a plastic Selmer clarinet, lol."
Hmmm...in high school, I recieved First Division ratings at State all three years that I went, placed first chair and was featured soloist in all-district festival band, placed second chair in an All-State Band, and "on-and-on"--all while llplaying on a Bundy Resonite clarinet with an "off the shelf" Selmer HS** mpc. (Yikes--and Rico reeds!!!!!)
A pro level clarinet would make it easier for you to play better, but it will never enable you to play something that you are not already capable of. You may be correct in your self evaluation, but don't be too quick to put the blame on your equipement. Keep practicing, but also try to get some clarinet lessons from an expert. Good luck!!!!!
