I've actually recently been packing Clairvoyance for Sona and practicing with it; it is a good spell to have. I love the fact that I can put it anywhere and use it again in less than a minute. However I still insist that Clarity is a vital spell for her. I don't think playing one specific champion is an insightful alternative to a spell you believe is inferior. Which, by the way, it isn't. I've been stacking m/5 glyphs, full points in Meditation and Expanded Mind, starting with MM or meki pendant; all it takes is a hostile early game (a.k.a. every PvP match ever) and Sona is parched. You just can't compensate for such a low base mana. Yes, later on when she gets her tear and a few other things, she has absolutely no problem. But if you don't want to feed your carry to the hard-knock champs you're laning against early on, you have to keep healing. Also in terms of engagement, there's no better way to lure an experienced early-game harasser than by APPEARING to run out of mana. Well, maybe there is, but that's pretty good.
