> In SVG handling of clip paths is quite cumbersome and not very intuitive.

Modern web browsers now support "clip-path" CSS property with inline/shorthand values which are much more convenient to use than <clipPath> element. There are some examples on MDN [1]. I haven't performed extensive tests yet but they seem to be working just fine with SVG objects.
