By all means, courtesy cue.

If you cuebid kings freely, of course you do. You have an agreement, you follow it; your partner has said he wants to hear you cuebid with hearts as trumps so do it.

In an aces-first partnership it may be that you are unwilling to show a void in clubs to avoid over-exciting partner. That would be a tougher question.

But "only 11 points" doesnt enter into it anywhere, that's for sure.

easy 3♠ cue. Don't cue 4♣, as partner will not expect/evaluate it correctly if clubs was natural.
