I'd agree that clojure fits the boring tag, and that's a good thing. Unfortunately it's also dying. While many old libraries and tools are stable and functional, nothing new is really being created with it. The same couldn't be said for boring technologies like Java or Python.

Being acquired by a bank isn't exactly a bad thing for the language from a longevity perspective.

What about clojurescript?
My rule of thumb when someone says "Language X is dying" is to move on. I don't even use Clojure, and I can immediately come up with https://github.com/logseq/logseq and https://github.com/athensresearch/athens as funded companies making popular new products with Clojure.
