On the actual hand I would bid 5C , because of the 8th club, the void , and the vulnerability.

About the question : "should a "jump-cuebidder" have outside stoppers?"
I prefer to agree with my partners , that this shows the same hand as a gambling 3NT opener (meaning NO side stoppers) , and then responder can judge well what to do.
If the bid does show one outside stop, how can the responder figure out which? And also , the hand with an outside stop is obviously stronger, and can be handled with some slower route , rather than a jump-cuebid , which is effectively a 4-level preempt (though giving partner the chance to play 3NT if he wishes).

I bid 5♣ like most of you do, LHO doubled and I went -4 when ♣ broke 1-4. Partner had a 3-5-5-0 with some Queens but they didn't help. This was not a good score.
