Sounds like both Phil and I tackle that by having one or more scratch
projects that we just add new dependencies to as needed. Anything that
becomes longer-lived is "promoted" into its own project if/when it
makes sense.

I guess our definitions of "one-off" might be different? If I'm just
doing a one-off experiment in the REPL, it's not likely to end up
under version control. If it's long-lived enough to go under version
control, it's probably worth a project :)

I definitely agree that compared to certain scripting languages,
there's more ceremony with Clojure (or any other JVM language) because
you can't just drop a source file in any old folder and run it. If you
don't mind a compilation step, ClojureScript -> JavaScript and then
running it with Node.js allows you to have scripts "anywhere" and
easily run them...
