IMO the most "open view" (quoting another post) is of trying to find the truth based on real evidence, rather than assuming things on personal (or no) experience that isn't real evidence. There is general research about comparing different materials, mainly for flutes, which gives some reliable information.
Some examples from my experience.
I have two wood mouthpieces of the exact same model. They play different just like different model and different material mouthpiece can play.
When I tried several clarinets of the same model, made of both grenadilla and rosewood, there wasn't a distinct difference between the different wood clarinets, that didn't exist between same wood clarinets.
Although these examples are not rpoof, they show two things. First, if a certain type of wood makes a difference, it should be a consistent difference. IME this isn't the case at all. Second, finding differences between different instruments made of different woods prove nothing about the effect of those materials.
