3NT seemed obliged to me: partner is doing that dance, we are in a game force and have been coy about stops so far.
But interested in other opinions.

So 3D invites club slam? Is that an alert?
1057? They way I play it, Neb 2♣ denies 5 diamonds (or in this case 4) unless clubs are longer.

Partner's 2♣ response is a GF which denies a 4 card major but is nebulous about clubs.
Nebulous GF 2♣? After a nebulous 1♣ opener? I don't like it. What is a 1♦ response? After opener's 1 level response to 1♦, you can then use XYZ and get into a well defined auction at a low level.

The new buzz word

You are playing 2/1 GF with 15-17 1NT, 1♣ is 2+ cards and 1♦ 4+ cards.
Partner's 2♣ response is a GF which denies a 4 card major but is nebulous about clubs.
