The issue, though, isn't whether or not a term is "useful to [you]." If it isn't generally useful - understood by the people you're describing the mouthpiece (instrument, reed or anything else musical or not) to, if it isn't meaningful to *them*, it's not much use as communication........... if you need to explain all of that whenever you use the term, it's not an effective term. .......Otherwise, you need to do some explaining each time you use it.
No problem. I will be happy to clarify it when I use it! FWIW-Over a lifetime of playing, many players, teachers, mouthpiece makers, repair techs I have known use the term and I never recall a major issue.
There are countless terms specific to clarinet or other specialized pursuits which use certain vocabulary. We could find many threads here which contain terms or words that may not be commonly understood or interpreted the same way by all people. Through discussion we can develop a common understanding and vocabulary.
Maybe we should create a woodwind.org glossary! (or perhaps a decoder ring!!)

So, it's a good term for you to use, perhaps, when talking to yourself.
I try not to talk to myself because people might think I was crazy.
