Maybe 2♠ (showing 12-16 total points) was on the timid side (although I think GIB would evaluate the hand as 16 total points)... Why would North not evaluate his hand as 10 total points and bid directly over 3♦? Should 3♠ show a minimum of more than 12 total points?

2s definitely timid. As for North, I think I've argued before that GIB not counting anything for long suit points is a misevaluation. Even if it doesn't want to try for game or even bid game it should at least bid 3s over 3d IMO. Most likely the meanings for 3s and 3h in that position should be examined, 3h should be generic game try, 3s just showing 6+ spades.
