I think that 3N response shows 4333 shape without 4 hearts. I forget the strength limitations. Tactically I might do it here anyway. Or, if it is a best hand south event, just shoot 4H over 1H. You may gain from EW expectation of a different holding.
Whenever I have responded 3N to 1M, GIB opener has never taken any action other than to pull to 4M, presumably on the strength of knowledge of 5-3 fit. But that does not allow for the possibility that opener might have a slam going hand were it not for best hand south
