Based on the explanation, 3♠ appears to be a mandatory rebid, showing nothing more than what 1♦ showed. I guess it allows me to bid 3N with a spade stopper...

I would have to say that 3S is the right bid here. Better than GIB usually does, actually, as it shows awareness of the fact that the first priority in minor suit auctions is reaching 3NT.

Raising to 5C is ridiculous however.

I guess I'd like to see the explanation of 3♠ include something about what distinguishes that call from any other. And North is between a rock and a hard place over 4♣ if South could have ♠x, ♥Ax, ♦AKx, ♣Kxxxxxx. "Twice rebiddable" clubs means 7 of them, or 6 good ones, and South's hand appears to be unlimited.
