Sure, it's a decent board, but it's not really top notch. Straight draw got there. It's a paired board, and KQ is very much in V's range. I would like board a lot more with AA instead of AK.

+1 to this. I'm not saying you're wrong about shoving, but I am really interested in what you are trying to get value out of when you shove? What range of hands are we targeting?
Also, OP, what cards are the spades in the hand?
If it is the KQ, then 5
X
becomes a very reasonable portion of their range here they can try to get value from. So, that might influence the decision making process here.
