I think what you are stating is that the Clojure ecosystem is stagnating. I'm moving more and more of our company's stack over to the Clojure ecosystem because I see a lot of innovation and excitement in it. More importantly, it takes fewer people to be more productive in it.

I know some high-profile people have left the language for various reasons, but there are lots of people I know personally who are joining it. We should expect some churn.

I won't try to convince you that it isn't stagnating, but I want to put out an alternate perspective from someone who is investing a lot in the ecosystem.
