In order to use std::optional, you need a Standard C++ Library that
supports C++17. For clang, this is libc++, which is usually packaged
separately.
If clang can't find libc++, it will search for and use GCC's Standard
C++ Library (libstdc++). If you run clang++ with the -v switch, you
can see what it found.
In short, without libc++, clang falls back to GCC's libstdc++. This
means that in order to be able to use C++17 *library* features (like
std::optional), you need a libstdc++ which implements these features.
Bionic Beaver (18.04) includes GCC 7.3, whose libstdc++ implements
std::optional. This is why your test succeeds on 18.04
