Mana cloak is an interesting item where it's simultaneously a noob trap (thinking the secondary effect is better than it is) and somewhat okay, since if you are using celestial emblem already, it's best secondary effect you can give your mana flower. So if you are someone that needs to have a mana flower equipped, it's technically the best option for that slot, though that's all it is, a slightly better mana flower.
The same can be (mostly) said about celestial cuffs. Magic cuffs isn't going to give you a great amount of mana unless you are running a tank build and actively taking damage, but in pre-hardmode (where mana potions aren't worth using), it's probably the best secondary effect you can get on your celestial magnet (which isn't saying very much).
imo, the optimal mana accessory progression would look like:
pre-hardmode: celestial cuffs
early hardmode: celestial cuffs OR magnet flower (if you aren't using quick mana)
post-mechs: celestial emblem AND (optionally) mana cloak (if you aren't using quick mana)
Reminder that you can use shimmer to recover your celestial magnet when you want to change what it's tinkered with.
