You're correct in that a stiffer reed (one that vibrates faster on its own) is necessary to get the clarinet to play its highest notes.
Think of plucking the reed at its tip. It has to vibrate at least an octave higher than the note you're trying to play. (In my experience, plucking a reed like that is sure to break it.)
