I agree that it isn't the One True Lisp, because there will never be one. Clojure is just a nice, modern lisp with some ideas I really like at the core of it's design.

I don't really care about having conses the way CL has them, and seqs feel like a very nice abstraction over the concept, though I also tend to use the idiomatic map-heavy style anyway.

Clojurescript has the staged macro issue, but JVM Clojure doesn't.

I wouldn't even say that Clojure has an object system, and wouldn't want one. Lacking TCO is a shame.
