I've countersunk the plain C#/G# tonehole on Couesnon clarinets whenever I've overhauled them so a cork pad can be installed and seated with no problem. Only cut the countersink down to the point when you get an even flat crown so you're not shortening the overall length of the tonehole by too much.
Some vintage Selmers also have this same non-countersunk C#/G# tonehole. A soft leather pad can be used and made to conform to the radius of the joint surface if you don't have the means to countersink the tonehole.
