    In particular, don't just slap an identity on the table and assume that's automatically the best clustering key.

    Fixed that for you. 😉

    Not at all :-D. Slapping...

    You can easily rebuild a heap table starting from SQL Server 2008.

    It's not necessarily bad....

    You could also, of course, instead simply insert the values from the tvp into a properly clustered temp table, and then process using the temp table.
