Not necessarily

1♣-1♠
2♣-2♦(asking)
2♥(nat)-?
3♥

would seem to show the hand nicely.

Incidentally if the hearts were a touch better I'd open 1♥ as 1♥-1♠-3♣ shows a 5-5 or better with 2 good suits but not a good hand by our methods.

If I were lucky enough to get partner to bid 2♦ over 2♣, surely a direct 3♥ describes this hand better?

I believe systemically for us 3♥ is an absolutely top of the range 2♣ rebid 6-4 (GF opposite the inv+ artificial 2♦ relay), 6-5s are shown by bidding 2♥ then 3♥.

Yeah. For me, the 2♦ relay is consistent with 5♠, 4+♥ GF, so we bid 2♥ with four or five hearts in order that partner can set trumps with slam interest.
