I can sort of concur.
Normally, I would warn against Clays, TiteGroup, or N310 for any max loads, but the OP seems cautious enough.
Personally, I'll take a 115gn JHP for defense (if I was to grab a 9x19 for a job that belongs to a .45), and 121-125gn for targets, but that is me.
Today, with lack of powders, you simply have to try what you have, if you have recognized load data. Since I have two manuals that listed Clays, one at 2.8 max and the other at 3.0 max, working up should be as safe as any other load work up--but I would warn about sudden pressure spikes at max loads--especially with a longer COL than either manual.
Of course, I would recommend that, for any one loading 9x19, best accuracy and consistency comes from powders in the AA5 to Silhouette range, with Power Pistol (which I haven't seen for over a year) being the "best" in my guns. My experience is that fast powders and 9x19 are not an accurate combination.
