So basically you are in the same situation as if you were playing with a dinosaur who defined almost all doubles as penalty. I think your second double is ok, though. It's not clear which game you can make, and 3♠ probably goes down.

Gib should know/simulate its way to seeing that partner with 4♥ is gonna score more in 4♥ than 3♠X. All those ♦ will often be worthless on defense and partner's ♥ are likely not going to be worth much more. Hands are very flat and its still better to bid on as it usually is when you have an undisclosed fit.
In fact, if I was lycier's partner he wouldn't have had to make what in Gib's definition is a penalty double cause I would already have bid 4♥!

7♥ makes with any lead- just need to ruff 2 spades in dummy- J♦ is a godsend to save from a 4-1 hearts break.

2-3 spades without a spade stopper (maybe we should allow a singleton? Four small spades is possible but very unlikely)
4 hearts
2-3 diamonds (maybe we should allow 4?)
3-4 (5?) clubs
11+ HCPs
