Elm is cool, but still at this point I consider it a toy system. Being able to directly interact with HTML/CSS/JS is absolutely critical. ClojureScript is not focused on FRP research or experimentation - production usage is the main focus.
If you want to build an easier ClojureScript environment so more people can play around with it with fewer setup hassles - go for it! I think there are some similar efforts afoot (Light Table, Session, etc.).
