An AOT generated lib mainly avoids compilation on the fly when your app starts up.
We use AOT here to avoid deployment issues that could be found at application startup (missing component, bad fn signatures, ...) or if we call Clojure code from Java using gen-class. On some application containers (tomcat, weblogic, ...), AOT can simplify your life when configuring your app context, you may need to refer to some of your Clojure components but the container can only refer to compiled classes. On the fly compilation is not an option in this case. I would not use AOT in dev mode or if you do not deploy frequently especially if your project is not mission critical and the application container does not require it.
