Few hands in, most pots have been taken down preflop except one where he donk bet (full pot) on Q42ss board and I folded A6o.

I think both preflop and flop are okay (might be wrong tho), but how to deal with this turn card? I didn't really like c/f or b/f given my stack size and QQ with a diamond was just way too strong to fold here, so ended up shoving. Is this line okay, or could this have been played somewhat differently?

Your line really is the best way to play it imo, the only question is betsizing. You could make a slightly smaller 3bet pre, but 270 is fine and std. You could also bet slightly smaller on flop, say half pot, then shove turn.

Hmm, I and most of my opponents usually min raise my buttons, so my 3-bet pot (whether I be the raiser or caller) is usually smaller than this, like 360 or so. So yeah, making it to 270~300 is not something I am comfortable with and I'd def consider raising smaller w/ 99-JJ, but QQ was just too strong and I was going with the hand all the way unless the flop is terrible, like AK5ss.

Either way, turn shove is standard given the stack size?

Yes I would definitely say so
