South made a slightly aggressive bid to try for game. IF North is just competing with a good weak two-bid type hand, bidding may get the partnership too high. Had West led a diamond, South would run ten tricks. If South held the king of clubs instead of the king of diamonds, game would be laydown on a minor suit lead. The only way to set the contract would be a heart to East's ace, followed by a club switch with West holding the ace. Very unlikely. So North's bidding was fine. It's easier to take nine tricks with the lead coming up to the South hand than 10 from the North side.

I am an expert (Grand Life Master) and I definitely agree with Kaitlyn's analsis, on likely slam hands, the location of honors and finding your best fit is paramount. As many players have told you, taking away opener's bidding room is not the way to go. "with good hands, go slow to find out what you need to know." That is why when players open a Strong and artificial bid, especially one club, it's best to get into their auction to make it harder for their side to find their fits. Your method will frequently block your side from locating its best fit or correct level because opener has to do some good guessing when he does not fit your suit. Remember opener has a game force or balanced 22+ HCP so the location of your few honors may be critical. Give the partnership bidding room to discover your best fit and whether to move towards a slam.
