For Rivendell-list-type bikes? I've clamped tubes, top and down, since I bought my first Park stand in ~2003 (presently have a better one); and at the bike shop we clamped tubes on steel and aluminum; never using any padding except that which is part of the jaws. Since the Park had the old "bolt in holes" clamp adjustment system, I've put considerable pressure on many a steel tube with no ill effects.
I've clamped exactly 1 carbon fiber bike (Specialized Roubaix) but forget if I clamped a tube or the carbon fiber seatpost -- Stevie, owner of shop, watching me.
