Party Anti-Synergy

I’m playing my first campaign, Curse of Strahd, with some friends and have run into an issue as we all hit level 3. I’m playing as a human Light Domain Cleric, and one of my party members is a Warrior of Shadow Monk. The issue, that we did not think ahead to when we were creating our characters, is that whenever our Monk casts Darkness, it completely negates my Cleric’s abilities. Most of my spells and my Warding Flare ability require me to be able to see my target, which I cannot inside the darkened area. Likewise, I cannot use my AOE Radiance of the Dawn because it dispels all magical darkness in the area, interfering with the functioning of our Monk.

One solution will come at level 4, when the DM will allow me to take the pre-2024 version of the Eldritch Adept feat, giving me the Devil’s Sight Eldritch Invocation. However, that uses up a feat that would otherwise allow me to take the Spell Sniper, War Caster, or Ability Score Improvement feat.

Is there anything else we as a party can do, or am I locked into wasting a feat just so that I can function while my party member is near? Any suggestions are welcome.
