In short, yes, if you stick to gClosure, advanced compilation will work fine. Closure advanced compilation is an optimizing compilation that minifies names and removes dead (unused, uncalled) code. Trying to use jQuery without special effort will result in calls to jQuery being unaddressable. There is a nice writeup on including external javascript with ClojureScript and the Closure compiler at [1]. Also, jayq has an externs file for advanced compilation with jQuery 1.7 at [2].
