Yes a distant second, but another first choice.
In German we have the saying: Only the monkeys climb alone.
So 5 ♦ would be a monkey bid according to that definition. My partner heared me bidding diamonds twice, didn't he?

How many cards do you think we have shown?
I think partner has at least eleven cards in hearts and clubs otherwise she might have done something else over 3♠. Maybe there are some rare exceptions 0=5=3=5 perhaps.
Therefore I expect 4♦ to show at least seven or rarely six very good ones.

As for the title of this thread, I am sure the answer is yes.

Really? What would partner have done with xx AKQxx x KQJ10x ?

I agree with that. Did anyone mention that we have eight?

I would normally be reluctant to go past 3NT with something as ordinary as five-five.
I suppose I concede that a pure five-five is possible.
With five-five I would normally double or pass if it is clearly forcing and keeps 3NT in the picture.
