3♥. Trying to get responder to bid 3N with some ♣ stuff. Playing 2/1 (especially) 3♦ shows a fairly decent hand.

Agree.

I would prefer to have a higher honor than the 10 for my 3 card raise, but any other bid is just too much of a misdescription of my hand.

Easy raise to 2♠ instead of 2♦.

I agree. However, given that we made this mistake, I'll bid 3♠...

This just shows one of several good reasons for raising 1♠ to 2♠. As it is, I reluctantly bid 3♠.
Kind regards,

2♠.

Having bid 2♦, I think I have to bid 3♥. I made a mistake, but I cannot leave partner in the dark as to my rounded suits. If partner bids 3♠ over 3♥, I'll of course raise.

I think the 3♠ bidders are being stubborn. 2♠ was right, but 3♠ after that bad call is wrong, IMO.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

3♠ is the canonical way to fish back the 5-3 spade fit here.

Hey cool. Isn't this one of those hands where if they lead a club against 4♠ you should duck it?

Yes, looks like it... 3NT is an easy make, and 4♠ makes here too... At IMPs 3NT is MUCH safer.

Really? You needed 4-4 clubs. You can't even afford to duck two rounds if they are 5-3 since they could then switch to hearts and almost always beat you. I think 3NT is a lot worse than you think, quite likely worse than 4♠ although that is hard to analyze.
