Your Let fails on destructuring:

  (def mag (vec)
    (let (x y) vec
      (expt (+ (* x x) (* y y)) 1/2)))
Your Let would fail there, trying to bind x to y.

To be fair, that example would be more simply written

  (def mag ((x y))
    (expt (+ (* x x) (* y y)) 1/2))
, but destructuring in let does have real uses.
