I don't mind the flop bet when checked to as the PFR, and I like the turn shove given our tight image when we pick up additional equity with the gutterball. Would like to know more about how our villain plays post-flop, but I think most villains would fold hands as strong as KQ/KJ as your line looks a lot like AA/AK.
A few minor quibbles: our line of AA looks less credible if villain is holding Axhh. AK really takes a hit if the K on board is a heart. We are essentially repping AA/AK or a set, and that is a narrow range that can get narrowed further by blockers that are likely well within villain's range.
The flop cbet could have been smaller and accomplished the same thing and also made the hand more playable in later streets. There are very few scenarios where this bet gets 3 folds, so I think $75-$85 would be better.
I don't think it is a terrible play, but probably better off taking your equity to the river to see if you can hit the flush or the gutter.
