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. > and it's currently bound to `org-table-blank-field', which is useless > unless you... happen to be in a table.

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.
