How would you handle this? IMPs.

Very strong opponents - you play with your favourite partner.

2♦ next bid will probably be many hearts

2♦, no second choice. Then we'll think again.

2♦ is a dull bid that offers the nonvulnerable opponents the best possible position to find and judge a minor suit sacrifice over our major suit contract.

Wouldn't 4♦ show a hand with a lot of distribution in the majors?

If you bid 2♦ the bidding will go:
1♦ - 2♦ - 3♦ - pass
pass - ??

If you bid 4♦, partner will bid 4♠ and the opponents won't bid again.

Plans?

I'd bid 4♥ now. Then make one last try over 4♠ with 5♣.

I like that partner has a spade fit since if he has 3 trump we have a reasonable shot of having no heart losers. But maybe I'm too aggressive here, idk

Obvious bids are often dull.

I wouldn't fear the opponents finding a sacrifice. They will never expect us to have a freak like this. I'd rather hear as much as I can about the other three hands before we have to decide where to play. If we preempted the auction with 4D, we'd never know if we had done enough. The fact that our hearts are considerably stronger than our spades also speaks against 4D. But K109xxx of spades is still good enough to make a direct 4H a really bad choice imo.

After 3D I'd also go with 4H.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Not for me, and I wouldn't do it with a pick-up pard anyway. 2♦ + insane nr of hearts seems like a liveable plan.

How high the partnership bids depends on what partner has in spades.
To see what partner can volunteer I would start with 2D to show both majors.
If partner can freely volunteer spade support, I would bid 5NT as the grand slam force.

In the US, 3D would be natural over RHO's 1D opening.
4D would show a better hand than a 3D bid.

I wasn't aware that in the US all people played the same system.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
