Just because you are using jQuery extensively in your JS codebase doesn't mean you need jayq/jQuery in your ClojureScript code. If you are trying to do inter-op and call some of your JavaScript code from your ClojureScript code, then you can simply use standard JavaScript inter-op; if you want to user your ClojureScript functions in JS you simply need to label those functions with the metadata ^:export and call them in a namespace-qualified fashion.
externs are only necessary when you need to tell the Google Closure compiler that it should not mangle certain names when compiling in advanced mode (https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/api-tutorial3). That being the case, you only really need to make sure you have an externs file which includes JS function names that you are referring to in your ClojureScript code, and that is only if you are compiling in advanced mode. If you use jayq in advanced mode, of course you'll need this (https://github.com/ibdknox/jayq#compiling), but if you don't include it you don't need to think about it...or jQuery. If you find you need to access the DOM in your ClojureScript code I would suggest starting with something like dommy or even the default Google closure libraries (the approach David Nolen takes in most of his blog posts).
