I love me some lisp, but I definitely prefer my JS-hosted code to be as close to JS language and semantics as possible (and that’s after a few years working in ClojureScript). Then again I’m commenting in a thread about an article with CoffeeScript in the title so I’m probably the weird one here.

Have you considered https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint ?

Personally I couldn't let go of Clojure's other advantages but at least using the syntax would let you step off the syntax churn bus

No, unfortunately the greener pastures I found have type annotations. I miss the parentheses like hell, and I miss the actual state semantics of Clojure even more. But I wouldn’t give up static types for any of that. If I explore lisps again I’m going to start with Typed Racket.
