1- after 2♣,if you abide by support with support,of course,you can bid 3♣,the final result is we never find ♥ fit.
2- after 2♣,if you abide by major first,of course ,you have a try to show your ♥ suit.the final result is we maybe ignore ♣ fit.

How do you think of it?

One possibility is that South, having denied a 4th Heart with the 2♣ bid, might show a 3rd Heart by bidding 3♥ over 3♣. The 6th Spade may not be worth emphasising in a suit headed by A9xxxxx. and with doubleton Spade North can bid 3♠ over 3♥ having already denied a 3rd Spade with the 3♣ bid.

Possibly a bit deep.

3H shows a D splinter and is a level lower

Yes. I said it is a *D* splinter. Once you have shown 12+ cards in 3 specified suits you must have 1- cards in the fourth

Ah, the return of really old-fashioned bidding. I like it.

Having said that, I always like the quote of "he's shown 7 spades, 4 clubs, 3 diamonds, and the rest are hearts..." (quote from memory, but I bet the original is a Kaplanism.)
