True, but also Clojure is not the only Lisp, just one I remembered was mentioned in a actual benchmark as being fast at some things. Nowadays you can either chose a Lisp that does compile to a single binary and doesn't require the JVM (like SBCL or something like that), or you could use Clojure but use GraalVM to get the single binary. Anyways, I agree with your general point, Rust being in general faster. But I don't agree with the whole "Lisps are just generally slower and use more resources" thing, while it's certainly true in some conditions.
