No you should not pump Charisma, and yes you will be noticeably suffering from the low WIS if you do. +CHA gear is cheap and easily acquired, +WIS gear is more expensive and harder to come by. And every point of +WIS you get from stats means more slots you can instead devote to +Mana, +HP or +Resists, all of which you will benefit more from on a regular basis than CHA. For an easy example, consider that a low WIS Cleric will probably be forced to wear +WIS jewelry, while the high WIS Cleric can fill those slots with +HP jewelry and become much more sturdy.
This is not to say CHA is useless for a Cleric. It's worth having some +CHA gear. But unless you are regularly breaking camps solo or trying to cast lull on mobs near your own level, you won't benefit much from high CHA. Realistically you won't be pulling or breaking camps much as a grouping Cleric, and if you do you will probably only cast the spell once to initially break the camp. And you will likely be casting on low blue con XP mobs with a low resist rate.

Again, there very, very few good charisma items that provide additional stats a cleric will want, and any cleric will eventually easily hit the soft cap at 200 wisdom regardless of starting stats by using plate-based items that will boost other important stats like HP/AC/resists.
You do yourself a disservice by not adding cha to your cleric unless you intend to purely use the character as raid cleric( lots of options but might as well go high elf to minmax wis/mana) or a rez-bot(make a halfling).
