Aaron, We followed the same discipline. However we prefer no to wait too long to upgrade the run times when an official release comes out since our code base is growing as time passes by. As far as the missing stuff, well if it's available in Java, do not hesitate, use it from Clojure. There will be time later to revert to a 100% Clojure implementation when available and if the need justifies it.
If you really need immutability from Java objects, convert them to Clojure equivalents and vice-versa, we did this on a few occasions just to reap the benefits of immutability. it involved most of the times 20 code lines or less to do that.
