How to Prevent Cheesecakes From Sinking:
Should I bake cheesecake until it’s jiggly in the center or completely set?
There is not a definite answer to this question. If you are not using a water bath and/or haven’t made the batter in advance and are baking at a temperature higher than 325ºF, then you want to stop the baking cycle when the cheesecake is a little jiggly in the center. However, this is not fully baked. However, if you continue to bake the cheesecake, most likely your cheesecake crack. It will be over-baked on the edges. If you take all of the above precautions, you should bake the cheesecake until it is just set (not jiggly at all).
Make your cheesecake the day before: Your cheesecake should cool overnight in the refrigerator.
How to Repair a Severely Cracked Cheesecake: I remember the first cheesecake I ever made. It cracked so severely that I just pushed it down to compact it while it was still in the springform pan. Then I made chocolate ganache and poured it over the top. That is how my husband and I came to enjoy my now popular Ganache Topped Gluten Free Cheesecake Recipe.

I haven't made too many American-style cheesecakes yet. I am more familiar with the German cheesecakes made with quark. However, I will definitely keep your types in mind when making my next cream cheese, as I have experienced at least one of the issues (cream cheese lumps) mentioned by you.
