Maybe back in my 11m days we had better techs but we ALL ran unlocked clarifiers and NOBODY chased ANYBODY up and down the band. When someone tuned into someone else they were just as clear on the other end as they were on their own end. Clarifiers were originally unlocked from the factory until new regulations came out when the band was expanded to 40 channels. Today when unlocking a clarifier a decent tech MUST make sure the TX tracks with the RX and if it does there is NO problem. Hell I used to set them up by ear in my early days and they were close enough to not be able to tell if it was off a few Hz or not. It's not rocket science to make it work properly but you have to at least make the effort.
