After working for several years in a large clojure code-base, and having been bitten by laziness a few times, I think I am still a fan of "lazy by default".
I have not been bitten by issues related to agents and laziness. Mostly it's resources going out of scope because I was using a dynamic binding. The other gotcha is when collecting metrics and timing data. I find it easier to write good abstractions around my data when I don't have to worry about the "cost" of doing work that is not needed. If you are writing "accessors" than this may not be so apparent, but when you are just using maps for your data, the default laziness means I an define a whole map at once, and only pay for the parts I use. With the very large data structures we deal with, that's essential.
