I also performed this within the past two weeks. Of the five parts, the Eb clarinet (which I just performed) could be left out if you absolutely had to leave something out.

Principal and second clarinets have important roles. Bass and sax have important solos. The Eb is playing section clarinet and adding color, but often doubled by the picc.

(Not advocating for dispensing with the Eb, just that it is the most-dispensable of the parts).
