The systemic opening bid is 1♦, after which the remaining auction is likely to progress entirely differently. I don't know whether that would get you to game. Given the overall values I think I would say mainly no blame just bad luck.

I can't say I like how Gib manged the hand, as the 3C bid sounds like a flawed neg dble which is just not the case at all. I lay it on gib.

The 3♣ is sort of understandable, because the 1♥ bid might be on (say) 3-3-3-4 shape. There may be other shapes with only 3 Hearts but a 5th Club. It does seem a shame to cut out the 2♥ bid, though, for those occasions when there is a fit (or 2♥ on a 4-3 fit is OK despite a better ♣ fit).
I wonder whether South might be better of bidding 1♠ rather than 1♥?

Given the system, I don't see how North can get any fault at all; in two bids, he described his hand perfectly (4+,4+,x,4+; 9+). Looks like simply a fortunate lay of the cards, allowing 10 tricks.
