Camera Mapping is not working in IR. Also front and back options are not working in render to Picture viewer.

There are also important to me, I checked these... Camera Mapping working in IR. Texture sides also working in IR...!

Ok, one last thing.
Have you tried Ozone for C4D/Vue Xstream?
You can make very nice clouds in there. The image still has to be composed but it should work faster than Arnold.
A support for the native cloud tool(or full Phys. sky) would be great, together with the option of adding CRN materials to add high-frequency details.
You could also try Navie Effex. It's for free now and you can load open VDBs and use them with AR.
Well, that's all about clouds and C4D.
edit: I just read that Furryball for Max, Maya, and C4D is for free now. Since Furryball supports pretty much all of the Arnold shaders, you could try and render the clouds with that.
edit2: one more critique. ;-)
What time of day is shown in your image? Clean clouds, especially in the morning have a well visible pink tint.
I often look at the sky, so the reverse engineered UFOs from the USAF that were shot down in Antarctica can't catch me.
Bob Lazar is still working for the government, he's lying to us!
Well, ok. I see no other way than compositing the image from different renderers. After all, they do it in movies too.
Baking doesn't make sense if you need a procedural 3D noise.
What I would recommend is to try Houdini. There you can create such things with ease using a non-destructive workflow. It has many presets, free stuff to download and almost everything has OpenCL support. It actually could make most C4D plugins obsolete. Terrain with erosion, vegetation, vdb modeling, fluids, liquids etc. etc.
The built-in Mantra & Renderman engines are quite fast drawing the media, but since you have Redshift, you could install it without any additional price iirc. You'll have more than enough noises for clouds ;-)
The Basic Non-Commercial version is for free,
the other two types depending on how much you make per year, but still, they're within a very reasonable price range.
PS: about your image, forgive me if I'm bothering, it's just one of my pet peeves... Large-scale scenes.
You should add a subtle volume to the scene to fake Rayleigh-Scatter. Also, a second flat, soft cloud layer wouldn't be wrong if it's not overdone. There you wouldn't need fancy scattering.
I also think that a small amount of a multiplied noise layer for the terrain, but also the water, to create a bit more variation could do wonders.
