Ok, so clouds of a few hundred nodes would work reasonably well and at the same time keep customization to a minimum.

Yes

What makes OSPF a better candidate for interfacing between the clouds? Does it keep a more limited routing table and thus minimize overhead traffic? I haven't been able to figure it out good enough yet.

The idea would be that you do a layer 3 protocol only on a few selected "gateway" nodes of the clouds. Those gateways would forward traffic from one cloud to the other, without having the details (and thus not having the overhead) of the state of the mesh.

Which technology is the best is beyond my knowledge.
