Does anyone still play 5N here as GSF in hearts?? This seems the most obvious pick-a-slam-5N ever.

Okay this is no GSF, it surely is pick a slam.

But if you have the minors and wish to play slam, why don´t you bid 4 Spade ( or 4 NT if you lack the tools) and raise pds minor?
I would take 5 NT as PICK a SLAM promising Hearts and at least one minor, because with just minors I had bid 4 Spade (or 4 NT without this tool avaiable.)

why bother with 5NT? just bid 4NT and the raise the minor to 6.

Josh haven't I told you you bid 3N with Ax way too often?

I don't think so, put it on your to do list.

I still find forcing to slam unbelievable.

I also find forcing to slam very strange opposite a balance...
