The default image for a clojure project seems to be to set it up with the circleci/clojure:lein-2.7.1 image.
Interestingly, it seems as if Circle autodetects that your project is a Clojure project, maybe Circle could be taught to detect if its a deps or a lein project as well.
One challenge to writing a guide is that the deps.edn project setup is so free form, that it's hard to generalize into a non-parameterized recipe

Create a tutorial that shows how to set up a deps.edn project with CircleCI?
Documentation for a solved problem helps the community focus on solving other problems.
No tutorial was found in the Clojurians Slack archive or doing a web search (although Chris' Duct tutorial with Leiningen is very nice). There are a sample config.yml files https://github.com/borkdude/edamame/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml https://github.com/borkdude/carve/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml https://github.com/seancorfield/honeysql/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml
https://github.com/seancorfield/next-jdbc/blob/develop/.circleci/config.yml https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml
Create a canonical configuration, which can be easily updated with the version of Clojure CLI tools to use (to keep up with Alex)
CircleCI orbs
Content to create
Additional aspects
Using kaocha orb as a test runner (unit and generative testing) https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/lambdaisland/kaocha
Using Heroku orb for deployment to Heroku https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/betterdoc/deploy-to-heroku
Review other orbs https://circleci.com/developer/orbs
Common approach
Install Clojure CLI as part of the config.yml steps Windows is more challenging to install Clojure CLI, an alternative is to use borkedude deps.clj
use a vanilla jdk image rather than a clojure image with Leiningen if that tool is not used
Review Circle CI images
https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/circleci-images/#clojure shows the images available for Clojure on Circle which include images with tools.deps

Babashka script to generate a config.yml for multiple operating systems
https://github.com/babashka/pod-babashka-etaoin/blob/master/script/generate_circleci.clj For the bb script, I assme this is run from the root of the Clojure project you wish to generate the config.yml from https://github.com/babashka/pod-babashka-etaoin/blob/master/script/generate_circleci.clj (edited)
The only reason I'm generating the circleci config there is that there's a matrix of builds: two executables for three OSes
