Multi-table cluster (i.e. the one where you don't specify one table to
cluster) cannot be used in a transaction block, function, etc, and the
FM does mention it:

        CLUSTER without any parameter reclusters all the
        previously-clustered tables in the current database that the calling
        user owns, or all such tables if called by a superuser. This form of
        CLUSTER cannot be executed inside a transaction block.
