I hate splinter bids with voids. Of course, if your splinter bid SPECIFICALLY shows a void, then this is the hand to use it.

 

Bidding 3 and then following it up with club cue bids gets us to the 4 level before cue bidding starts. I would start with 2 followed by a diamond raise. I should be able to get the information that I need after that start. An inverted diamond raise is not a bad idea, either, but I believe that I will get more useful information by bidding 2 first unless I have a very good structure over the inverted raise.

 

By the way, after a 2 response, and possibly after an inverted raise, it should be possible to stop in 3NT when it is right. For example - partner holds AKJT KQT9 xxx xx.

Um yes, possibly if you raise diamonds then bid clubs you will get to 3NT opposite that lol.

 

Your point was interesting because, with little/no discussion, I'm more confident in followups after 1 2 than 1 2, which I often find to be a difficult auction.
