Does it make sense to break a beam after a clef change? Someone suggested this for a better legibility, and I see the point, but don't know if is permissible or not.

Anything is permissible! The question is, which version will read the most clearly and create the least confusion. I can picture situations in which a clef change in the middle of a group of beamed notes makes sense, and other situations in which it does not.
