I'd use starter rope as a piston stop instead of actual piston stop. It's much safer. And if there's a need just to oil the bearing you can do it through the center hole in the crankshaft without taking the clutch off. And regarding the "clumsyness" of this construction - e-clips are not reusable in most cases whereas the nut can be retightened many times and you don't need anything to do that - just pull a starter rope and use the standard T-tool. Not as clumsy as an outboard clutch ;)

On the Echos and other saws I've now found an excellent method of getting the sprocket off and no need to block the piston.

 

 

An impact driver on the nut (of the sprocket removal tool) and because of the way the force is applied the resistance of the piston is enough for the clutch to come off.

 

 

It has saved us a crazy amount of time given all our smaller saws we tend to change over to 1/4 drive sprockets.
