Yeah I think I just shove pre. There's always a chance he has AA/KK and is hoping someone will shove, but there's a greater chance he's just a passive player hoping to see a flop with his hand and won't want to play it for his whole stack. And if he does, your hand does okay against his range.

I think your line is fine - If we assume that V is limping 25% and calling half - we have about 40% equity when called - which would make this marginally profitable as a shove - about +1 bb - but we can take a free look at the flop and expect to pick up a decent share of the 3.5bb in the middle - would rather go with the lower variance rote and on this flop fold.
