Unfortunately the Scatter Object internally uses Render instances and, apparently, can't be used as a source for a cloner...
Let me ask around to see if someone knows of a workaround, and in the meantime please report this as a bug/idea from inside Cinema 4D.

Here are a few suggestions.

1. To create colorful traces you don't need splines. You can use this technique:

2. Use a Fracture Object on the Sweep and colorize each swept spline like you do with any mograph object

3. The Alembic export has a huge (known) limitation. If the first frame is empty, nothing exports. To trick it, you need to add at least a single point. In this scene I added a polygon primitive with 0 size under the Connect Object. It's a very ugly workaround, but it works.

here's a project:

Cloner in Object Mode. Drag the surface you want to clone onto in the "Object" link and that's it.
Please share a scene as this should be very straightforward.

You shouldn't have any problems that don't have some sort of workaround. Whenever you have a scene that has issues, simplify it and post a link here and I can take a look...

.. It doesn’t seem like a complex task...

I learned never to say that to a developer
It's better if you report it as an idea.

• Baking as a Alembic = If it's gracious enough to work at all, it explodes as soon as you change its hierarchy.

Do you have a sample of this?
Alembic should work as long as you put the Cloner under a Connect Object
