I actually just dusted off my old Clojure stuff to see if it was a "solved problem", and it isn't.

I grant that it might be described thus if I started out with that stack, but trying to retrofit an older code base with it is, I have found, next to impossible. You have to code around the myriad gotchas as you go or you're never going to identify all those landmines going back over it after the fact. The errors and bad behaviors are too difficult to identify, even for the `native-image` tooling.

No. I have looked at your code. You did not use the mentioned https://github.com/clj-easy/graal-build-time

If you don't do what everybody is doing to solve a problem, then of course it is not a "solved problem" for you.

No, you don't need to code specifically for native-image. What are the landmines that you need to code around? Since you have not successfully compiled native-image by following common practices, you obviously don't know.

Why do you imagine the OP would push a failed experiment to a publicly available spot? They probably left it sitting in a local branch and went on with their day.
