That's pretty much it yes. Get some datomic-dev-local setup going and add your credentials to the config and you're good to go

So for example your shared/config/dev.edn could look like this:

{:com.fulcrologic.rad.database-adapters.datomic/databases
                                     {:main {:datomic/schema   :production
                                             :datomic/database "my-dev-db"
                                             ;;:datomic/prevent-changes? true ;; See default.edn for docs
                                             :datomic/client   {:server-type :dev-local ;; 
                                                                :system      "my-dev-system"}}}}

Nice, thanks.
