I think it depends, I used to play on an M15 myself and it was very free blowing essentially, I needed very hard reeds so it had the amount of resistance I wanted from it(4 1/2 or so)

in my case it was the opposite of what you mention, I was able to throw a lot of air at it and my sound would not break(forte was easy) piano maybe it is due to my skill but it did not work as I wanted.

testing around now I play a more open mouthpiece, behn epic(3 reeds) and I find that my sound quality is much better. However, I need to be much more careful on my dynamics, if I just throw air at it I stop sounding like a clarinet and a lot of things I used to get away with I cannot do anymore. I mean this in a good way, I can finely control my sound now, before I didn't have control over it as such.

I would not say X or Y setup is for lazy people, we are all different what is "easy" to play for someone might be bad for someone else so I doubt there is a one size fits all answer for this case. I know players that make a sound I wish I could on a 5RV, this is not a diss on 5RV, different people need to play on different equipment in my opinion.

I think if that closed set up works that well for you, you should just stick with it instead of thinking "does this makes me lazy" or other things.

your goal is to make music not to think about clarinet issues all the time.
