I'm OK with opening very strong but not GF hands on 1 level. I play gazilli which should be a part of every 2/1 system in my opinion. While opening 1M and 1OM or 1NT response 2♣ is 11-15 with 4+♣ or 16+ any. Responder bids 2♦ with 8+ HCP "waiting" and openers 2M bid shows 11-15 HCP with clubs and every other response is 16+ and GF. For example the auction you mentioned:
1♥ -1♠
3♦
is showing 14-16 HCP hand with 5♥ and 5♦. Very usefull bidding tool played by most of the Italian pairs.

Interesting, we use the jump rebid for something similar but slightly different, 2 good 5+ card suits but not a good hand, can be a touch weaker than 14, we work off suit quality more than points. AQJxx, KQ10xx and out is fine.
