I would only ever bid 4♠ if we played Fit Non Jumps. Otherwise 5♦ for me.

5 ♦ - Pard ought to have at least ♦ AK seventh for an unfavorable preempt or possibly ♦ A eight times. RHO opponent has bid 4 ♣ holding a suit no better than headed by AQJ, so it seems almost certain that the ♣ are accompanied by either the ♥ A or ♠ K or even pretty likely - BOTH. So 5 ♦ should have a play.
Bidding 5 ♦ now makes the opponents have the tough decision to make.

Yep, I'd go for 5♦ too without any doubt.

Even if you played them, this surely wouldn't be one.

am I 100% sure I can beat 6c NO Am I sure I can make 5d NO
but it seems pretty certain that 5d should rarely go down more
than 1 trick and (unless opps x) that will beat 4c. Let the opps
make the last guess we may or may not have any play but there
is no way to know for sure. We would not settle if the opps
bid 5c so why not bid
5d
now and hope for the best.

If 4♠ is the right contract they won´t let us play it anyway.

Partner should pass 4♠ with most hands.
Partner should pass double with most hands.
Obviously this makes both of these options poor.
5♦ is the only sensible option left. We might need some luck.
