Based on my reading of (info "(elisp)Key Binding Conventions"), I think
`C-c SPC` doesn't fall into the user's `C-c LETTER' territory but
instead into the this group:
Sequences consisting of ‘C-c’ followed by any other ASCII
punctuation or symbol character are allocated for minor modes.
Using them in a major mode is not absolutely prohibited, but if you
do that, the major mode binding may be shadowed from time to time
by minor modes.
But, either way, I don't disagree with what you say next.

In my view, the first would be fine, and the second also unless someone
chimes in with a technical reason not to. For the last, perhaps `C-c
C-SPC' would be an okay replacement, though I'd assume that would break
some users' muscle memory in a surprising and unpleasant way.
