IMP, best hand South.
OK, South a bit strong for 2♦ but influenced by conditions of contest. Not really the point of the hand. I don't think it excuses E/W. North could easily have had some of South's honours to make N/S bids middle of the road.

E is probably okay, but W balancing on a balanced 10-count and a four-card suit is odd.

I feel that from East's viewpoint, on most hands where 4♥ is good, West would have taken some immediate action over 2♦. But I agree that West takes the lion's share.
Actually I find it quite hard to construct a reasonable hand consistent with West's pass and then 3-level balance.

Long hearts, diamond values, unbalanced? That hand can't overcall NT, can't double for takeout and maybe expects it to be more profitable to penalize?

Thanks for reporting.
West overestimated balanced bid fixed for v29.
East for that case just bid normally. So East call wouldn't be reflected.
