I think it is up to South to bid 3N on this, without mentioning Spades.
You would certainly prefer 3N to be declared by South to protect Club King if Ace is offside, and that ain’t never gonna happen with a 3S response.
From North’s perspective South could have longer Spades and a side suit wide open. There is inevitably some guesswork required by both players, especially as GIB plays undisciplined and wide range pre-empts. Some days passing out 3D will be your last plus although you would lose the post mortem if game is on.
You were a bit unlucky with the trump break. 4-3 and you are nearly there (ie Club Ace onside and no adverse ruff).
