Given a sufficiently deep enough stack, top boat only gets it in against quads versus some players. You should understand which opponents will put in significant money with JJxx and which ones will play that hand cautiously and never raise with it.
Your turn thought process is not completely horrible, but trying to keep straight draws in on a paired board is wrong. If you need to keep people in, it is opponents drawing to an inferior boat. You just have to learn to identify which opponents clearly drew out on you if the river is a king or an ace and they appear to want to put stacks in.
The board pairs on the turn and hes not trying to keep straight and boat draws in, hes trying to keep straights and lower boats in
As for not raising preflop, especially deep, you're contradicting yourself by saying that sufficiently deep were only getting it in with ultranuts and also that we shouldnt attempt to lower the SPR starting with preflop. The precise reason you raise preflop is to start to build a pot so you're not only ever getting it in with top boat vs. Quads when you're 300bbs deep and the spr is 30
You kinda wanna arrange it so that on the river you're making opponents decide for their stacks not value betting into 190 with 1300 behind and that requires raising preflop most of the time
Otherwise just play for 100bbs. There's no point in playing this deep if you're gonna play scared
