definitely you can't boot from a TM back-up. I clone every time I do a system update or major install. Restoring from a clone is much quicker than from TM, I think. It's certainly straightforward. Besides, remember the iPhoto fiasco of theSnow Leopard upgrade, which managed to wipe out TM photo backups?!
Ideal -- rotating clones (maybe two, alternating so you have this week's clone and last week's), TM, and back-up of TM disk. That might seem top-heavy but it has enough redundancy that things like the iPhoto thing wouldn't hit you too bad (actually, it would have if you didn't spot it within a fortnight). I've lost too much data over the last 15 years not to take precautions.
