I would not look for a spade game but prefer hearts. If we need discards in a long suit, we have clubs avaiable, so no need to prefera 4-4 spade game to a 5-3 heart game.
And the only suit we may need to discard are spades anyway. We can ruff diamonds. .)

Easy... 3H showing 3 card support and a double-fit.

Now it is getting tricky
will we be able to sort out the best trump suit....not easy.
This is a valid point. Give partner something like: X KXXXX AXX AXXX, and we probably feel good about a grand in clubs, but 6H might go down. Of course, that doesn't change the 3H bid at this point, which establishes 6 keycards and brings in the heart queen. Partner's distribution in spades and diamonds might be more difficult.

In fact, I suppose you'll get to a point where you'll ask key-cards and partner will show 0-3 with 5♦. What then?

Queen ask, whatever that is for you 1430 folks who don't play Kickback. Then choose 7N if he has the heart queen, and 7 clubs if not.
If he had zero, instead of three, we will discuss the auction in the bar.

If you "asked" with 4S! = 6-ace RKC including ♥Q but not ♣Q, then after the 3 key card answer, you could ask for the ♥Q BELOW 5H .
However, instead, let's make a 3rd rnd Ctrl-ask for ♠ -- something we learned in a recent thread.
And that is by-passing the 5♠ ( K-ask ) with 5NT! ( essentially, the ♠Q-ask ) .
Replies are:
6H = no ♠Q
7H = x x doubleton ♠
6NT = ♠Q
6S = ♠Q J
If you get the ♠Q reply, you can count 13 tricks in 7NT :
4s, 2h, 2d, 5c = 13

I suppose your partner doesn't support clubs with 3 to AJ or to the AT.
What can go wrong if you bid 1♠ over 1♥?
