How much of an upgrade?

is nobody tempted to bid 2S?

No, 2 is a gross overbid as it is game forcing jump shift. The hand is far too weak to force to game. A typical jump shift has 18+HCP, showing sufficient strength to play in game opposite a minimum hand. This hand has only 13.

 

If partner has a minimum 6HCP hand with only 4 hands, you're going to go many down in game. If partner has something like AKQJ in diamonds and AQ hearts there would be no stopping partner from bidding slam either.

I would need a very much stronger hand to be tempted to bid 2

At the moment, your hand looks like 16-17. This is not enough for game if partner has 6hcp

 

As I suggested earlier, your opponents have both passed. What does this imply?

There is a good chance that partner has a good hand, and will know what to do after your simple 1 rebid

Do not force your partner to bid. Trust him and listen to his rebid, he is highly unlikely to pass
