I have never had a problem with escape, but I also use 8 clips on each tank so they keep even tension on the entire lid. Putting things on top of the lid without the additional use of clips is an almost guaranteed way to lose a snake; happened to one of my friends 3 times despite my repeated attempts at trying to educate him. Using both is certainly fine; I just caution people on just heavy things, as there were cement blocks on top of my friend's boa tank and she escaped several times.
