Class E is so non-linear that you have to use a modulator for CW to prevent 
key clicks.
Since it is practical on HF bands the only mode that may be used would be 
FSK or PSK.
PSK31 would not be a good choice because it uses combination of AM and PSK 
to limit
its bandwidth. And normally it is a QRP mode anyway.
