My recollection is that DivaScheme wasn't well-integrated into the existing editor, and relied on re-parsing the input after each keystroke.  I think that if you wanted something more like paredit, it might simply suffice to add bindings for the "closer" keys that mapped them to the search-for-end-of-sexp, though I do see (looking again at the paredit cheat-sheet) that the editor would have to distinguish whether or not it was in a comment.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure how commenting-out works in paredit. What if I insert a semicolon that comments out several close parens, and no open parens? I would try it myself, but it looks like paredit is something that needs to be installed separately.

FWIW, I'm working from this cheat sheet:
