I've had the same question. What I've come up with is to introduce a new 
middleware in the the dev-system, which wraps the both the creation of the 
app handler and calling the handler with the request map. The prod-system 
would still refer directly to a single instance of the app handler.

Now in dev-mode, on every request, a new handler is both created and 
executed. There is a potential performance impact of re-creating the app 
ring handlers, but I haven't noticed any issues yet, and this is only for 
development mode, so I'm not too concerned about it. The improved repl 
experience is valuable to me.

Using your code:

(defn app [] (app-handler
           [home-routes user-routes base-routes]
           :middleware (load-middleware)
           :ring-defaults (mk-defaults false)
           :access-rules []
           :formats [:json-kw :edn :transit-json]))

(defn dev-system []
  (component/system-map
   :web (new-web-server (env :http-port) (fn [] (fn [req] ((app) req)))))

(defn prod-system []
  (component/system-map
   :web (new-web-server (env :http-port) (app)))
