Actually I would recommend opening 1 NT with the north hand with so many values in the short suits. Then there is absolutely no danger of getting past 4 ♠.
Also looking at the 3 NT bid from south, we need ♠ AQJx ♥ Ax ♦ Qx ♣ Axxxx or the equivalent for slam to have a play. Even there there is the chance of a club ruff if the spade finesse loses. So the 3 NT bid shown reallly is marginal.
