I really like clojure as a language, but it seems like the bus factor is very problematic. Observing the community I see rich hickey, as well as cognitect as a whole SPOFs, which hold me back from devoting more time to it.

It's open source so, if things go awry, anyone with a dictionary and a passion for pulling things apart can take over ;)

There are many companies that have invested their core business in Clojure, and the language has been around for a decade. There is absolutely no risk here. If Rich disappeared tomorrow, there would be no lack of people ready to step in and continue working on Clojure. In fact you can already see that happening with ClojureScript where there is a lot of community involvement in the development.
