This isn't the case. Spring clips are a wear item but, if in good order (ie. having not lost their 'springyness'), using the older style ones is fine, regardless of whether the pad used has a clip on its backing plate or not.
The newer style clips should have a longer service life though so well worth using them instead if your existing ones are past their best..
