Both red:
♠AK
♥AQT8xxx
♦Qx
♣AT
1♥-Pa-1NT*-2♦
???
Is 4♥ advisable here?
In general, on what should 1M-1NT-4M or 1♥-1♠-4♥be bid?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I could bid 4M here with an ace less, so I would first cuebid 3♦ then 4♥.

4♥ is fine. 3♦ is possible but I would bid that also with a monster with ♥+♣ since 3♣ is nonforcing. With this hand I have a nice, descriptive bid. So why not make it?

4H is fine, slam is very unlikely.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I think you overestimate this hand. 4H is enough, I would be happy to make it. Qx of Diamonds are really awful.

About the general question - 1♥-1NT-4♥ and 1♥-1♠-4♥ are very different auctions. If the responder is unlimited (1♠) than jump to 4♥ shows a hand that was a little better than 4♥ opening, but not by much (lets say an A more). If the responder is limited (passed hand or 1♥-1NT-4♥) than it is the opener decision - basically saying "I dont see a slam opposite your bid" - and can have a very wide range of hands.
On this hand bid 3♦ if you think slam is a real possibility opposite some average 8-9 points (or if you can imagine perfect 6 points that would make the slam cold - I can't
) or bid 4♥ if you think that slam is not something to aspire to. I would choose 4♥

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
