I tried learning emacs when learning Clojure, but found IntelliJ with the Cursive plugin to be a much superior experience (the static analysis is awesome). Been writing Clojure for 3 years now (2 years professionally) and I still prefer Cursive to the alternatives, e.g. Atom, Vscode + Calva, emacs. I would say that most of my colleagues with their custom emacs setups still don't have as a good of a development environment as the vanilla experience in Cursive. I also use parinfer (https://shaunlebron.github.io/parinfer/ https://shaunlebron.github.io/parinfer/) rather than paredit, which makes editing Clojure a bit like editing Python. Rather than memorising commands for structural editing, you instead adjust the whitespace using tab/space/delete and the parens reorder themselves accordingly. You can still use paredit commands while having parinfer enabled, but I rarely have a need to.
