I agree with this, I have been learning / playing for about 2 months and trying to play a clean open C chord seemed to be impossible for all the reasons mentioned by OP. Regular daily practice (only about 30mins or so) and without really noticing, the clarity of the chord has improved, as has the muscle memory of my fingers. It's just practice and more practice!
