Actually, I take back what I said about STR for a cleric making an impact later on - it will not. By that time, you should have enough base STR to solo things efficient for you. In parties, you will almost never make use of your STR, because you usually only party for mobs that are too hard for you to defeat alone.
Therefore, SPR for a cleric is not, as you say, "useless". Rather, it is more practical, and you will make better use of it in the long run. It compensates for any magic defense you may lack and significantly boosts your chances of landing a critical hit. It will also make for better conservation of SP potions/stones and allow you to stay on the field that much longer.
