No. This is WTP pass for me.
I don't tend to X and then bid to show a weak suit (I assume that was your alternate plan), so I may not have good judgement on this, but this seems way to light. Partner will reopen with a double if he's short, and if he isn't you aren't going to like losing the first 3 spade tricks in your 5-2 (possibly doubled) fit.

Not me. See aguahombre's quote about feeling safer in 'Nam than about taking a bid here.

The key to me is the 3rd spade.
Partner can re-open on appropriate hands even if they raise to 2♠ and THEN I can bid. If partner can't re-open I'll be glad I stayed out of it.
