seems fine to call pre if you can extract the value to make it worthwhile. maybe a smaller turn bet would draw in a call if villain holds Kd/Jd/Td hope for any diamond river. The rest of the board is dry he's only getting it in here with made flush or poss QQ, 99, KdKx, AdAx

You have a suited ace on the button 50bb deep and the preflop raise is 2bb? Unless you have good reason to think someone is going to 3bet raise behind you, folding would be insanely nitty.

All the factors pointed towards it being a good time to peel a flop.

Pre is fine.

Betting smaller on turn.

this. Half pot sounds good. Sets you up for pot size jam on the river.

if we were shallow like less than 25bb then folding pre, but coz the effective stacks are deep tis fine to peel a flop.
