I suggest you to use Clojure. There is no more risk involved than with anything else. Clojure supports in its current version all of Java. It has very nice libs, macros, cuncurrency engine, etc. Those are fully production ready features. My company uses Clojure for production, and it meets our high expectations.
The only thing that could happen is that there will be a breaking change. That means: your unit tests will suddenly report errors in many places. In such a case you can decide to either fix them, or just have a policy of not updating Clojure. No one stops you from downloading the newest Clojure and just work with that. That will give you all of what Java can do plus everything that there is in Clojure so far. This is a lot. So yes, I suggest you to go with Clojure.
