So there were at most 19 spacecraft deployed that were NOT Starlink satellites, although 34 launches involved third parties. How? How can I distribute 19 spacecraft on 34 launches?

SpaceX has had 10 "Transporter" smallsat missions over the last four years that have each launched at least 40 non Starlink satellites and as many as 143 to sun synchronous orbit.

19 customers deployed spacecraft across 33 launches. The 99% figure is wrong.

I had misread it, it's 99% of SpaceX satellites are Starlink. As in, 99% of satellites launched/operated by SpaceX (e.g. the Tesla roadster being another).
