Also, can you explain what you mean with the following:
"with Clojure/Clojurescript, I was able to make something I could only dream about before."
What does CLJS enable you to do that you can't do with JS / TS?
PS. I'm in a somewhat similar boat, i.e. not a great programmer (not my job anyway) - more of a prototyper - hence my interest in your experience with CLJS.
I built a voice broadcasting service as a side project in Clojure, built on top of freeswitch and Datomic. From low level library (freeswitch-clj) to API server and frontend SPA, all in Clojure(script). The whole system is approximately 32K SLOC, written over 3.5 years. I have tried similar projects with other stack, mainly with PHP+js and python+js. None went as far as this one. Although we are yet to make a profit, I am very satisfied with the whole development process and subsequent maintainability offered by Clojure. In frontend, we are using reframe + antd react UI library, along with other necessary glue libraries from npm.

To feel productive, you need to amortize your time spent learning Clojure over the time saved building and maintaining complex, non-trivial projects.
I can’t say for Elm as I never tried it. But, as a mostly backend developer, moving from Javascript to Clojurescript was a huge enablement for me. I am a rather mediocre programmer in a two man team. Still, with Clojure/Clojurescript, I was able to make something I could only dream about before.
