I have a project with several components. Parts are a pretty standard Clojure 
programs with logically separate but related functionality, parts are 
ClojureScript intended for web browsers, and in the future parts might be React 
Native ClojureScript. There are good code-sharing reasons for keeping them in 
one codebase, but that also comes with a lot of downsides.

Uberjar size is one. There are lots of reasons to want to reduce jar size, 
including performance, but in my case it's also a design constraint. AWS Lambda 
only gives you a 50MB budget. The jars for all AWS APIs add up to something 
just north of that already, and for reasons beyond my comprehension AWS doesn't 
make them available on the classpath the same way they do for non-JVM runtimes. 
A part of my code just talks to AWS services, but in the simplest possible 
project.clj, it'll also be lugging e.g. ClojureScript around. Parts use 
datascript, but others don't.

Unfortunately in my experience using minimizers like ProGuard with uberjars 
turns out to be a great way to get a tiny jar that doesn't work. (I know some 
folks are experimenting with that to make that better.)

It seems that the most popular approach to an application that has a lot of 
components is a cluster of separate repos, or at least independent directories 
within a single repository. Does anyone have any experience with a single 
codebase that produces a few different artifacts; say, a few different 
uberjars, some static JS files and maybe an Android/iOS deployable? Was it a 
giant pain in the neck? Is boot helpful at all here? Doing this with lein 
profiles feels a little gauche.
