I wouldn't be surprised if some would bid it like this:

South deals, bid these hands playing 2/1.


1s
2d
3n 16-17 balanced no reason to emphasize "average" spade suit
4n quant
6n based having dia Q a great value card you didnt have to have
and have a 6th spade in reserve "just in case"

I have nothing that allows me to reach 6d/6h which are much better

I think a good start in 2/1 is :
1♠ - 2♦
2♠ - 2NT
3♥!

This 3♥ bid is not natural, since opener would rebid 2♥ with any hand with 4♥.
So it can be used to show a 6 card ♠ (not solid suit , otherwise rebid 3♠) , with extra values (otherwise rebid 3♠ now), less than 3♦, usually with ♥ values.
After this start responder can bid an invitational 4NT , or perhaps even explore slam in ♥.

I'm being honest. No way I would ever find out that 6D/H is better.

6H looks best, but the only way I'd get there is if the cards were dealt face UP !
