I use a slightly modified Dvorak keyboard. It is like a standard Dvorak keyboard, but the parentheses have been relocated to be unshifted keys.
I don't believe Dvorak is any faster than QWERTY, but it feels more comfortable to me, and the unshifted parens make Lisp a lot easier to type.
Except for the word
lambda. The M, B, and D, are all right index finger.Alas.

This PhD thesis mentions Antonin Dvorak and Common LISP: https://www.audiolabs-erlangen.de/fau/assistant/oezer/publications/2024_Oezer_Thesis_final.pdf
Antonin Dvorak (the composer mentioned in the Oezer thesis) was a distant cousin of August Dvorak (the keyboard designer). A wag on the internet notes, however, that "August Dvorak was a terrible composer and I don't think his relative Antonin created a single decent keyboard layout."
