Yes, there is a divide in the ecosystem for existing projects and knowledge, however new projects have a choice between two excellent, well documented and capable toolchains with sizable populations. I understand that as a beginner this is painful. You generally want to be told what to do with tooling, then ignore it for a while when you learn the language. As you mature as a developer in that ecosystem, the choices become a great benefit. It's true in Python as in C as in Common Lisp as in Clojure. I am a professional Clojure developer, and despite using Leiningen for many years I would say right now that I barely even know how to create a project or how to read a non-trivial project.clj. tools.deps on the other hand I feel confident with and believe it's one of the better systems out there. There are people who feel the opposite (in all ways), and I think that's _awesome_.
