Answer: NO!
Common advice from the experts urges caution with respect to two level overcalls, especially against experienced opponents eager to collect big scores via penalty doubles.
Ideally, two level overcalls should reflect a strong 6-card suit. If only 5-cards, the suit should be especially solid. Given the three small spot cards, that is not true of the West hand.
Given that they are not Vulnerable & already a passed hand, a frisky West might consider a Takeout DBL on their second chance to call. That creates two chances to find a golden fit with partner. Turns out EW deserve to make 4S.
North/South deserve to make game in clubs & dropped the ball big time by not bidding it.
Ain't bridge a great game?
