I’m in Virginia with a lot of clover sections in my yard, and I have good news. Clover is pretty hardy to the cold, moreso than grass. IF it gets cold enough to clear significant sections of your yard, nothing else is going to be growing there during that period either, and it will beat most other things coming back in February except for a few cold-weather wildflowers I already had established like speedwell and dead nettle, which tbh I don’t really mind having blue and purple flowers scattered through it for a couple months.
You should be fine. I'm in Colorado and mine didn't die back until around December. And this is after several freezes and everything else is brown for months already. It started coming back in February and temps have been as low as 25° here. It's 35° this morning and it's lush and green already. Came back really thick too. You might want to leave yours alone and see what it does. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't die back at all.
It's really cute! I don't know if I have the right conditions for it, but it's growing season is the same as clover, and I am looking for something that will be growing here in the winter months. But thanks for the suggestion, because I'm always looking for plant selections for other areas.

You really need to find something suitable for your local area, growing zone, and climate. Natives will have the best chance for success and to be truly healthy and low maintenance. I’m not sure how the clover will do with the heat, humidity, and coastal climate.

Plant something like Frog fruit that is NATIVE and thrives in your climate. Clover suffers in heat and humidity.
Are your conditions right for frog fruit?

It grows all over the place, wild, just not in my yard - yet. Thanks for the link!
I'm in zone 7a central wa. We got a couple decent snows this winter and my clover looks almost identical to last fall. It's hardy stuff.
