Well, fontification usually solves the problem of "slightly hard to read" for me, because it's usually very different in co colour.
Speaking of block comments, I have no opinion about that. The point of s-comments is exactly that they keep sexp syntax intact.
Block comments are not expected to do that (even for the human languages within the comments).

Sexp-based comments would certainly be nice, but I wonder whether
comment blocks would be even more useful (if we have to prioritise):
#| this is
a comment |#
The advantage is that you don't have to have syntactically valid things
in comment blocks, while #; requires that you do. #; also looks like
slightly hard to read if you do stuff like
(foo #;(foobar
...
1)
zot)
