Shoving here can't be horrible as we would break even using the following the conditions :
-If we are called we are 30%-70% in average (we are 40-60 vs AK, AQ and 80-20 vs bigger pocket pairs)
-Villain folds 50% of his 3betting range on this spot.
I do believe V would have folded a way more than 50% of his 3betting range there as for the mentionned reasons I suspected him to be picking chips on me. Which kind of was confirmed later as he 3betted my next open once again.
If we use the condition, V fold 80% of his range there, which seems to me more realistic. We make 5,3BB on the spot (that's 530BB every 100 hands !)

This sizing allows :
1- some lower PP to come along here, hands like 99-JJ can still 4bet shove behind while they'd fold when we shove.
2- it protects my light 3bets later so that my sizings can't be exploited later.
Concerning postflop play, I agree on having made a blunder by folding there.
