It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

By all means, courtesy cue.

If you cuebid kings freely, of course you do. You have an agreement, you follow it; your partner has said he wants to hear you cuebid with hearts as trumps so do it.
In an aces-first partnership it may be that you are unwilling to show a void in clubs to avoid over-exciting partner. That would be a tougher question.
But "only 11 points" doesnt enter into it anywhere, that's for sure.

easy 3♠ cue. Don't cue 4♣, as partner will not expect/evaluate it correctly if clubs was natural.
