The way that I've been doing this, for better or worse, has been to insert
a Javascript function call into the HTML output by my server, like:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {my_cljs_ns.initialize('data');});
</script>
Where 'data' is some clojure datastructure that has been run through pr-str
and had single quotes escaped. The clojurescript function called by the
generated javascript has to be marked with :export to make this work. When
called, it calls read-string on its first argument.
This seems more or less equivalent to just using a hidden form field. I
don't really see much of an advantage either way. This approach has been
working great for me so far.

Why are you trying to avoid parsing the clojurescript client-side? Are you
working with a very large data structure? Dynamically compiling the form
to javascript on the server side is going to be very expensive, although I
guess if it's very cache-friendly it might work out well.
Be aware that if you're using the compiled clojurescript approach, and are
using advanced optimizations, that you'll need to make careful use of
:export and possibly even :externs to make the pre-compiled and
dynamically-compiled javascript work together.
Using the pr-str/read-string approach is likely to be *much* simpler than
this, and is definitely the approach I'd recommend.
