You don't necessarily need a cleric beyond what Jaheira can provide.
Turning undead is a nifty (but unnecessary) skill, but Anomen's cleric levels should advance faster than Aerie's.
Aerie's a good NPC, regardless, but you don't necessarily *need* her skads of spells--Imoen is quite a powerful mage with nice thief skills thrown in, and Jaheira is cleric enough for healing--summon woodland beings nets you mass cure before a cleric does.
in general, BG2 makes clerics less essential than arcane spellcasters, as weird as that is compared to PnP.
