I really don't know much about Jigsaw, but I would have assumed it was also opt-in. That is, you can run Java 9 with circular dependencies and Clojure and anything that run on Java 8 - you just have to accept a large, monolithic JRE. Is that true?

Yes, that's true. By default JAR-s get automatically lifted to fully open modules (that export everything), so everything is reflection-able.
