I don't think there's an immediately available answer here. The wide branch factor in Clojure's implementation is very iteration-friendly, less so for updates.
Worth checking out are BTrees and Hitchhiker trees, but I think a definitive answer will be implementation dependent even in those cases, i.e. one might win out over the other for a specific branch factor or other tune-able parameters
