Would the same Clojure advantages apply to Armed Bear CL which also runs on the JVM?

Not in my opinion.

Using Java libraries from Clojure is very simple e.g. (.substring "abcd" 2 3) ==> "c".

Armed Bear on the other hand requires a lot more scaffolding code to make a Java call (you have to get the class, find the method and then call it).
