I've been happily doing just this for a decade now, and haven't had any problems finding employment. People tend to focus on the absolute size of a community, but what really matters is the supply and demand ratio. Sure, a mainstream language like Js will have a lot more jobs than Clojure, but it also has a huge pool of developers making it hard for any individual developer to stand out. Meanwhile, Clojure has a much smaller market, but a growing one meaning that the demand currently outpaces supply of Clojure developers making it much easier to actually get an interview. Another side effect of this is that companies tend to be a lot more open to remote work.
