I like Clojure a lot. I'm sure it would be a great language for configuring and extending an editor (I should know, I've written basically the same plugin for Vim [0] and DrRacket [1]).
However, one thing I don't like is JVM for CLI software. I even downloaded the jar to see if the startup is as slow as I expect (it is). I wonder if running this as ClojureScript on Node.js or compiling with GraalVM could speed things up.
OTOH when I started playing around with lisps I considered switching to Emacs for a while. I didn't because I was put off with the trouble of learning a completely new interface, the slow startup and the high resource usage. But I guess I'd still rather learn Emacs than some new quite unknown editor.
