I started a project in 2021 using CL. I'm solo, but I think if your team adhered to a style guide that (among other things) enforces use of Quicklisp or similar for managing dependencies, and puts strict^H^H^H^H^H^H draconian limits on when macros are acceptable, it would be no worse than many other languages.

Macros (and in other languages meta programming) should only be allowed when the writer is going to produce top notch documentation ^H write a oreilly-publish-worthy book on how the hell their thing works. With beginner tutorials!

You write DSL, you write book!

I guess when I say I wouldn't want to work on a CL project with other programmers, it's more for their benefit than mine :)
