Curtains vs PoG

29. ... Qe6
Can't call it horrible but the queen is nice in the center, why move it further away.

29... Nc3 appears to be the top move at this point...

29...Qe6 blocks our own rook from coming back to the Q-side if necessary.

I don't understand the aversion to 29...Nc3. We close the c-file, deny him the d-file, attack the a2 pawn, and make a deadly threat that he must deal with immediately. 30.Rc2 is hardly an acceptable move (30...Rd6 31.Qf3 h3 32.Rc1). In fact I have yet to see any acceptable move suggested for white here by the people who do not like ...Nc3.
