Playing weak two bids, your 2N response is a puppet to 3C. You're not playing OGUST and have no asking bid here. Your 2H-2N, 3C-3D, 3H shows a heart invitation with diamond values, so it would be nice to have a way to show club values instead. OTOH, without a way to invite game with xx or stiff A/K of hearts, you will pass 2H. Which is more important here? Thanks

I don't really want to play 3H with a stiff honor opposite a bad hand, so I voted for the club values. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to invite on xx♥ with appropriate values, so if I lacked either minor values, maybe I still need an invite. So maybe the direct 3H is just any invite with a fit and not diamond values.
Are you sure concentrated values instead of something else, like shortness, is the best type of invite to use? I dont know about your range on the 2H opener, but what about catering to 3 strength ranges? You could have a light invite and a sound invite for your two sequences, and opener would only go opposite the former with a really nice hand.

We'd be using 2H-3D as invitational with a fit. I suppose xx is a fit, but partner may have a poor six-card heart suit and (rarely NV) a chunky 5-cd heart suit.
