Whatever my methods to show an inv+ hand with ♦ support. 2NT? redouble maybe? I don't like 3NT. Jx and Qx don't look terribly robust.
OK

Whatever your limit raise in diamonds is. For me, that would be 2♠.

3NT is okay as a two way shot. It might make and it does preempt.

The downside is:

You are vulnerable and 3NT could be expensive
LHO probably knows which major to lead is best for them.
You may also preempt your side if 3NT is not best

If playing no fancy methods I prefer 2NT.
A good player will usually not want to play 2NT.
He will either sign off in a minor (weak) or raise or show his major suit stopper.

I think you're both too strong and too weak for 3NT so no, I don't like it.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Yes, but obviously we run if doubled. So 3NT maybe OK as a tactic.

Looks like an inverted 2♦ in my book. But any method for an inv+ raise works.
