It sounds like a great project. I think the challenge will be the making the different pieces fit together neatly: there are lots of somewhat-overlapping libraries and I don't think anyone has yet figured out the right way to plug everything together - at least in the sense that "composability" depends on shared abstractions.
By doing a project like this, I think one of the big benefits would be in providing feedback to the constituent libraries on how they could make their APIs work better with the rest of the ecosystem. If you can do that successfully, it would be a big benefit for the Clojure community as whole.
