Is this hand worth accepting an invite? I felt I should have bid, but being non vul I decided to pass - not that confident in my declarer skills for borderline games

Well i know, i have acepted my parts invites some time when i had a 5332 shape with minimum points, just because i felt it was needed. But with these type of hands i think its good, if you have a diamond stopper because you have a source of tricks. Like there is a difference between your hand and the same point count with a 3334 shape for example.

At the other table, JEC bid 3N rather than 2N with my hand...

Your declarer skills are not relevant when partner will be playing both potential contracts!
The answer to your question depends a bit in your opening bid style. You say that you open light, so presumably this hand is at least a queen above minimum. I would bid game as the pips in the long suits make the hand quite powerful. With a bit of luck the contract will make. On the other hand, if the diamond stop is only a single stop and the club finesse loses, we might not make 2NT.
