I somehow don't get your point.
The following seems cleaner than either of your examples. But I'm sure I've missed the point.
fetch(url).then(r=>r.ok ? r.json() : Promise.reject(r.status))
.then(
j=>console.log('Fetch Data:', j),
e=>console.log('Fetch Error:', e)
);
Depends on your definition of clean, I consider this to be "clever" code, which is harder to read at a glance.
You'd probably put the code that runs the request in a utility function, so the call site would be `await myFetchFunction(params)`, as simple as it gets. Since it's hidden, there's no need for the implementation of myFetchFunction to be super clever or compact; prefer readability and don't be afraid of code length.
