We are playing coded minors, so 1 club could either be any 18-19 point balanced hand that intended to rebid 1N, or it could be any unbalanced hand with at least 4 clubs, but this would also be a problem for me playing standard.

So partner never has a weak NT hand type? That is MUCHHHH better than playing standard methods. And he only has 4 clubs if he's 4414 exactly, or if he's balanced 18-19 in which case he can bid again?
Seems like 3C and X are your options, 3C is a good one since partner almost always has 5 clubs if he's going to pass 3 clubs. X will work better in the unlikely event that partner can pass it with 3415/4414 hand type (but in the latter case he will almost never pass), or when 2S is a superior partial to 3C (unlikely since we have such weak spades). X works needlessly poorly whenever partner has a strong hand with 4 spades and a heart stopper and we end up in 4S instead of 3N.
3C seems like an easy choice given your methods.

Oops sorry voted before I read the system description.
Playing standard I would double but this is a good hand for your system as I have a more comfortable 3♣ bid.
