Making the jump shift game forcing seems to have negatives when opener may have anything up to say an 18 count and therefore has to rebid 2♣. Responder with his 8 count has to go on, so rebids, maybe 2NT, and then finds opener has only 12 and you're playing 2NT when opponents have half the pack.

Surely 12-18 is far too big a range for a 2524 shape 2♣ rebid? 3♣ one-round force would be nice ...

I think you got backwards. Absent agreements, 3C is GF. It can be AGREED to be only a 1-rd force or even just strongly invitational, but such agreements would have a lot of flaws. One being that any pick-up partner would take it as GF.
