... Anywhere near as important for DOJ hiring as TLS makes them out to be? Make sense to clerk as an alum for that reason?

Impossible to answer without knowing where, or which, USAO office(s) you are targeting. Irresponsible to make general statements about the 90 or so USAOs spread across the country.

But as to DOJ, I would say a DOJ clerkship is certainly more valuable than almost any other type of experience (with the possible exception of being a former federal government attorney of some sort)
