My first recommendation would be to apply the fixes for the bugs
found during the last two years by upgrading your executable to
8.3.10.  This does not require a dump and load, but if you have any
GiST indexes, or if you have hash indexes on intervals, you will
need to rebuild those indexes.  To get more details, see:
 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/release
 
FWIW, we CLUSTER a few very small, very frequently updated tables
daily in about 100 databases to ensure that we recover from bloat
from the occasional long-running transaction, and we've *never*
seen this.
 
If you actually need to cluster *every* table *every* week, you
should review your vacuum policy.
