Fair about Clojure, I was assuming Common Lisp. Point 3 I consider not much net change, though, as the same is true of Python, and pretty much every other competitive language.

Before, Lisp had the edge in native code compilation and functional programming, Python had the edge in libraries. In the modern landscape, that made Python win IMO. Now CL has caught up to Python (mostly -- it's 90% of the way there) in libraries and retains its edge in the other two areas, so in my book CL has pulled back into the lead. YMMV.
