I wouldn’t be too worried about lack of access to heavy armor on a cleric.
With 14 dex, medium armor and a shield You’re hanging out at 19 AC.
Full plate plus shield gets you 20 so you’re not far off. I don’t personally rate access to heavy armor as worth all that much as a class feature.
As far as pure Utility, don’t sleep on Knowledge Cleric either, though that depends on how much out of combat utility you’re going to be able to get out of those skills.
