did you try structural editing and using keyboard shortcuts to select, cut and paste the whole inner contents of a parens scope? for my that made the whole difference and I never found such a similar good feel in other languages.

Fair to mention dart (flutter) in VSCode has a refactoring option which removes, adds and modifies all widgets but it falls short in comparison to lisp.

Structural editing is basically a hard requirement with Clojure - I don't think you can realistically live without it. Paredit is fine, but it does take 2-3 months for your fingers to adapt. It would be even better if they didn't have to though.
