That's ok isn't it? With a minimum you don't have game. When in a hole, stop digging.

Does 2NT show 18-19? That would be wrong. it should probably show about 15.

I think 2H shouldn't promise a sixth heart as it does currently. 2D with 5 cd suit often has some heart tolerance, if opener is some 3514/4513/2515 type of thing shouldn't be forced to play 5-1 fit, or void diamond for that matter?

I'm not particularly fond of 2d with East hand anyway, should be better diamonds, less suited to NT/club contracts. It should stick with 1nt unless more concentrated.

I was shocked the blurb showed 6+ hearts. All this time it was 5+ default. Unless my eyes are failing since 5+ looks a lot like 6+. Kinda doubt it.
