I enjoy clojure a lot, I've had some difficulty getting started with cljs though. It seems like all the guides on getting set up with tooling are out of date. I'd particularly like to use it with node for scripting tasks, since the Clojure startup time makes it impractical to use for anything that isn't a long-running task.

What have you used to get up and running?

Lumo[1] probably fits your use case perfectly. It's a ClojureScript REPL running in a NodeJS context. You have access to both bootstrap-ClojureScript-compatible libs as well as the whole NodeJS ecosystem. The REPL has some nice ergonomic features and comes with a TCP socket REPL you can use with Emacs inf-clojure and (I hear) Cursive.
