I would say it is not a good choice today, unless you have a legacy code base in CL.

There are more modern Lisps which have a much better concurrent programming story — which is why after years of working in Common Lisp I switched to Clojure.

The other huge advantage of Clojure is ClojureScript: most of my business logic code these days compiles to both Clojure and ClojureScript, which is important for modern applications and lets me keep my line count low.

See my Quora answer (from several years ago, so some things have changed) for more on why I switched: https://www.quora.com/What-do-veteran-Lisp-programmers-think...
