What does everyone use for GUI work?
Agree. For quite a while it was hard to deploy JavaFX applications but jpackage exists now. There are also tools out there which do everything for you :https://www.jdeploy.com/https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/1.0/

Java: "write once, run everywhere" vs "build once, run everywhere"
You can try https://www.jdeploy.com. I didn't try it yet. I use GitHub Actions which allow me to deploy to all platforms by just pushing to the master branch (or whichever you set up). It's free for a certain amount of machine runtime minutes. Shouldn't be a problem for a personal application.

The Decline and Fall of Java on the Desktop Part 1 (1999-2005)
You build your Clojure app as an uberjar, yes. Only gotcha here is to remember "-Dcljfx.skip-javafx-initialization=true" so the JFX thread doesn't get started during build, and I've had no problems using Clojure's direct linking either. You use jlink[1] to create a custom runtime JRE image (this isn't strictly necessary if you're deploying to machines with a JRE but it cuts down on moving parts and gives you more control). jpackage[2] then takes that runtime image and your uberjar and creates installers for Mac/Windows/Linux. Both are command line tools, and we just have GitHub Actions that cut new releases for each platform when we tag something with a new version.
Worth also keeping an eye on jDeploy[2] which adds extra goodies like auto updates, at the cost of some npm shenanigans. Not something I've played with yet though.

You can add a GitHub Action to automatically generate installers as shown here: https://github.com/wiverson/maven-jpackage-template

Also, go the the original. I made a mistake and put a link to my clone of that repo. I made changes that I like and it is best you get the original. It can be found here.

Why is bundling a javafx app such a nightmare?
When I was working on a project I find this template very useful. https://github.com/wiverson/maven-jpackage-template (I used the older version of it). You have to just configure some of the setup and reset is managed by the github actions for all the platforms.

JavaFX Links of the week of September 30th as posted on jfx-central.com
An interesting discussion in the GitHub maven-jpackage-template project - a project by Will Iverson to provide a template project for native desktop applications. Seems there is often a request for a Spring Boot UI template. Let's keep an eye on this "BootFX idea" that could be a using the JavaFX embedded web browser.

New tool for packaging JVM apps, an alternative to jpackage
FWIW I created this repository a while ago - https://github.com/wiverson/maven-jpackage-template - as a template for generating macOS, Windows, and Linux installer packages using GitHub Actions. If you pop in signing credentials as GitHub secrets it will sign, notarize, and staple the macOS version. I also created a Maven plugin to make it easier to work with jpackage, jlink, etc. https://github.com/wiverson/jtoolprovider-plugin
What are some alternatives?
