Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I pass. I am not bidding my AKJxx or AQTx suit over pd's 5♣ if thats the question. If the questions was to consider slam, i dont see how i can possibly figure if we are losing 2♠ tricks or not.
Pd is allowed to hold something like xx Kxx x KJxxxxx/KQxxxxx

Agree with Timo. I would add that most of the time the opponents have nine trumps. Partner might have bid 3N with good clubs and a spade stopper. Partner sounds like ♥K + ♣KQxxxx.

Already put my 2-cents in.
My X of 3S+ has 2+losers in their suit.
Partner chose 5C, not a S-short, up try.

If pard has a hand that can make a slam, he'd probably have overcalled the round before. Pass is easy.

Partner did not choose 3♣ directly over 2♠. Another thread about 2/3 months ago covered partner having a long suit and possible slam interest in a similar context.
Leben, anti-leben, and 4C were all available to pard, I assume.
All this leads to the same as everyone else ---PASS.
