yes, this hand will play much better in diamonds than 3N. This hand looks way too good for a mixed raise to me.

Maybe I should make a slam try as my hand is much stronger then described, but 5 Diamond should be enough for a decent score.
Kind Regards

there is a big wastage in spades. If partner has a good double stopper such as AQx or AJ10, and diamonds run we have 8 tricks and a tempo to develop 9th or 10th.
It is easy that 3NT outscores 5♦.
However my partner's bid 3NT with ♠Kxx and ♦AKQxx. 3NT is a lucrative gamble, but 5♦ is probably safer.
if 3♣ is only 5-9 with no other stronger option 4♠ now seems to describe pretty well.
