Position impact with 3bet or fold strat

I am trying to apply 3bet or fold preflop strategy as a default, unless there's fish behind or other incentives, to simplify and because of the high rake.
I'm wondering how big impact the position has, when we're playing 5max. I've came up with this range for BU 3-bet range vs MP (gladly hear you inputs on it). Mostly linear but adding few bluffs
Not sure how to adjust it when we're in CU or SB really. We can obv flat wider when not using this strategy from later positions, but since 4-bet are much less likely (and population probably under 4-betting), is it fine to use the same range for CU/BU/SB, with possibly removing 76/A5/A4 from the SB?

For IP the hands strong enough to 3bet 100% are obvious. The hands on the margins you don't want to play pure strategies, instead you want to spread out those combos over a lot of different hands. This will give you better board coverage that will add more ev to your overall strategy than just playing a margin hand 100%.
For example, given the range you posted of 8.6% a better way to distribute the combos would be something like this. The exact mixing frequencies don't matter too much as long as you keep your overall frequency in check.
For OOP you generally want to 3bet a tighter range, mainly giving up on the weakest offsuit combos.
