You hold:

Is this only worth a 1♠ opening, planning to bid 2♣ if partner does not support ♠?

Partner wouldn't be happy if u missed maybe 6cl because of this kind of distortion. Also they wouldnt be happy when you go down in a number of NT. Of course u can tell them "I could have had xx of ♥ instead and still gone down" and u would be right, but they won't (and shouldn't) understand. The "no singleton in 1NT" is a very nice idea that hasn't been proven wrong yet (except maybe in 3rd seat semi psychic 6m331 1NT openers).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Wrong shape.

For starters, one tends to lead
a mayor against NT contracts,
if one has the choice.

I believe you, Ive missed 2 major slams in as many days after partner has jumped to 3nt holding xx in my singleton ;)
