Software does break in strange ways with musl. But the Linux community has come a long way over many years. musl based distributions are much more usable now than they every have been.
The advantage of musl is that it is very clean, easily understandable and has very little legacy cruft. The ability of peer into musl code and actually understand what is going on is very liberating.
Give it a bit more time. clang was very difficult to use at one time on Linux due to various incompatibilities and GNU extensions it did not support. Today clang has caught up and is better in a few respects than gcc e.g. its modular internal architecture based on LLVM.
