1 ♥ 2 ♦
2 ♥ 3♣
Version Nr. 1: 3 NT (?) pass
Version NR 2: 3 ♠ 3 NT AP

I honestly do not know whether I would sell Txxx as a stopper or not.
Kind Regards

2/1, Mike's auction looks fine:-
1♥ - 2♦
2♠ - 2NT
3NT

My auction (strong club):-
1♥ = 10-17, 5+ hearts, unbal
... - 1♠ = INV+ relay
2♣ = 4+ spades
... - 2♦ = GF relay
2♥ = min, 4 spades, not 45(40)
... - 3NT

I don't think it matters whether you play 2/1 or Acol here, you're going to reach 3N, I think 5♦ is better but I just don't see how you get there.

1h normal
2d normal
2h normal
3c normal leaving room for p to bid 3d
3s the search for nt continues showing a partial
spade stop and no club or dia fit. This could also
be a cue bid but that will be revealed later. This
bid might also help right side 3n.
3n too hard to avoid the obvious contract at MP
especially.

With any system I play I'd end in 3NT. A reasonable contract imo, needs ♦3-2 and hopefully no extreme distributions in a Major.

I'm not advocating it, but Flannery could "get you there" ( to 5D ):
2D! - 2NT! ( asks )
3NT! - 5D

where:
3NT! = max 4 5 2 2 w/honors in the minors

...except Opener is not a max.

With such a great concentration of HCP in Diamonds and Clubs, I'd happily give preference to 3D over 3C.
Although you're a diamond short, if partner is looking to bid a slam they certainly won't be disappointed with your hand.

1H - 2D
2H - 3C
3D...

Which would certainly get you to 5D at IMPs. At Match-points you still might wind up in 3NT.

I'd have Mike's auction.

If E was dealer, I might get to 5♦ after
1♦ - 1♥
1♠ - 2NT (1♠ is unlimited with ♣s, 2NT is nat inv, we open very light so this is quite borderline GF.)
Though 3NT is clear at MPs.

Or certainly after
1♦ - 1♥
1♠ - 1NT (Again 1♠ clubs, now 1NT weak or GF relay, rest is natural)
2♦ - 2NT
3♦ - 5♦
At MPs, it's possible though that 3NT is bid instead of 1NT or 2NT.

I dont see why or how I could avoid 3Nt

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
