I've used both luminance and clear filters and focused. No difference except perhaps clear filters may have fluffier stars due to the UV but I think that shows up in long exposures not in short focus images like 5 secs.

I only ever focus with luminance filters.

At one stage Clear filters were interesting because they let in a tad more light which is good for dim objects like dim galaxies. The downside is your brighter stars will be bloated.

No need for a clear filter.
