Those should work, but they have a straight edge at the back of them so you'll have to use them straight on to make a hemispherical hollow which will leave a bump right in the centre of it.

The ones I have are completely spherical so I can use them side on which leaves the inside of the hollow in the pad completely smooth instead of leaving a bump in the middle. But you should be able to work around that minor thing by moving the pad around as you're cutting into it and using more than the one size.

But you'll still have a set for doing all manner of tonehole work which is where they pay for themselves - not just clarinets, but also toneholes on soprano saxes and metal clarinets after levelling them as well as lightly countersinking/deburring any drilled holes in any other material besides steel. They can be resharpened easily and cleaned out by using a brass brush.
