Can someone contrast this with the long existing lein-try or a setup like using Pomegranate with an injection in a Leiningen project so that you can add arbitrary dependencies to a live REPL?

This is indeed the lein-try for tools-deps. Published libraries can be loaded but also github/gitlab/sourcehut-projects (as long as $project_root/deps.edn exists).

Rebel-readline (vendored and extended in this project) is essentially a tiny IDE as it provides syntax highlighting, formatting, code completion, docs, show source, show examples etc.
