> What about box-cas! ?

You might find it handy to use box-cas! via a "swap" style wrapper,
such as box-swap! from rackjure/utils:

(define (box-swap! box f . args)
  (let loop ()
    (let* ([old (unbox box)]
           [new (apply f old args)])
      (if (box-cas! box old new)
          new
          (loop)))))

Then you can express it as:

(define counter (box 0))

(box-swap! counter add1)
