At my local club we alert 1M-2♣. Ours is even 0+, not 2+ (though not nearly as scary as '0+' would make it sound, so instead we explain that when asked instead of stating only the minimum number). We even alert 1M-2♦, because the opponents aren't familiar enough with 2/1 to know this is game forcing for us. Maybe a bit excessive, but oh well.

Exactly the same agreements, situation and alerts in my club too.
Our regulations unfortunately do not say whether 2/1 should be alerted when GF or not, but do say to alert if not natural or unexpected and in doubt.
Given that some still play some or all 2/1 as a natural max limit raise, others play that 2♣ promises clubs or that 2♦ may be 4=card (yuck) and/or a weak raise, I choose to alert.
