Certainly, clojurescript makes it possible to do productive React development without having to resort to JSX for syntactic sugar- This comes from the "create your own language" nature of lisp languages, which is leveraged by the many different frameworks to easily generate DOM elements in a natural way. (This also makes it easy to implement graph query languages BTW that are more elegant IMHO than graphQL.)

Another big payoff with clojurescript IMHO is the use of async channels and go blocks in lieu of promises to handle asynchronous operations- It's nice to have what is essentially a form of cooperative multithreading right inside your client javascript code, without the need for web workers.
