So I have a few questions about coco growing medium. One, does it lead to gnats? I feel like removing the soil will eliminate them. Also, is it safe to clone in coco? I'm really curious to know more, any help?

You can still have gnats in coco, but you aren't near as prone to get them as soil.

Yes, quite a few people clone in coco with success.

I assume. . . Probably not 100% but I could be wrong.

It depends on how you choose to use it, coco is versatile. You can mix it with soil to improve aeration and drainage. You can mix in your own amendments and use it as a base for supersoil. You can also use nothing but coco (and maybe a little perlite) and treat it more like a hydroponic medium.
