Is that it? Or can we do something?

South had automatic X. From there I would expect 4N-5C-5D-5H-p

North needs South to have about four of five cover cards, as the short spade is obvious. That means that he needs three covers and a void or four covers.
South's 5♣ call is the sole reason why North probably loses ambition. Had South bid 5♦ to preference a red suit, North is good enough, IMO, to venture to slam.
South perhaps should smell this potential and take some creative risk.
Thus, in a serious example of post-mortem influenced heavily by seeing both hands, I would still argue that a theoretically sound auction might be:
X-4NT
5♦-5NT
6♥

South has to double 4♠. The chances of them stealing vs bidding to make are very high and -590 (or even -690) isn't the end of the world.
In my partnership -5 imps is the playing around range and you can't pull this double without an expectation of going plus.
It's not at all clear if we would find the slam, in fact probably not unless we get a 5♠ bid and a forcing pass opportunity.

I don't care about missing this slam, it's not like I would have automatically bid it if I had opened the bidding either.
