I agree

Eventhough fsf followed by 4♠ shows a hand too strong for a jump to 4♠ last round, I really think this hand is too strong. Partner won't bid on with many hands where slam is more or less laydown.
If I was sure partner would interpret 5♦ as a self splinter for spades (I think he should, but you have to be sure), that would be my bid. Without that agreement, I'm rebidding 5♠, which I think my hand justifies.

fwiw, I did bid 5s and pd with no aces and a singleton x in spades passed.Unfortunately
she held both the KQ of ♥ & the KQ of ♣ & 6 just rolled. I like Harald's 5♦ bid, but in this case it probably wouldn't have helped as pd's diamonds were Kxxx.

This hand is horrible hard to bid and I would never try 5 ♦, okay I would opposite Harald, but I had not yet the honour to play with him.
What is 5 ♠? A general invitation? I would try it.
Asking for first round control in club? Or for trump quality? In both cases you better don't try it.
When I had one of the later agreements, I would bid 4 ♠ now, as the crowd.

But you only have 13 HCP!!!
Seriously, I think partner doesn't have the right info to evaluate his hand, either 4 or 6 is better IMO. Probably 6.
