When we do flop a draw we won’t have a lot of maneuverability postflop at low 5 SPR (little Fold Equity if we semibluff, if our draw hits it will usually be an obvious flush and it will be hard to collect value). Further, you didn’t include stack sizes of the rest of the table. Any short stack who limped pre might jam over the raise to collect dead money. Further, UTG might have limped a strong hand and go for the limp reraise. So we don’t always even get to see a flop.
Fold flop: Given action, your two pair outs likely aren’t live. There’s even a chance your flush outs are dead. There are four other players with uncapped ranges in the hand.
In a cardroom against people you have little, to no history with, I would mostly agree with folding T8s OOP. However, that isn't the case here. However, I'm also (possibly incorrectly) assuming some post-flop skills, which would be absolutely required.
The point I will agree is a bit of an issue is the effective stack sizes and low SPR. Personally, I think the $180 in V2's stack is enough, and the $270 effective especially. I would also point out that the SPR to V1's stack, when Hero called was 10.
