You'll hear a distinct "pop" as the edge of the film snaps into place under the clip. Without the clips there is a distinct possibility that the sheets will become displaced during rotation and impede the flow of chemistry across each sheet resulting in uneven development. The clips prevent this from happening. I process 2 sheets of 8x10 film frequently with the 2830 and the clips and have never had a problem. To easily remove the film from the tank fill it with water to "lubricate" the back side of the sheet.
What about doing single sheets of 11x14 film in a 2840? Would I need clips for any reason, either with CPE 2 or another roller base?
