Doubts about shoving ranges on Micro stakes Doubts about shoving ranges on Micro stakes

Yesterday, early on in a $1.65 Bounty builder with 30xBB, I was holding AKo on the SB. 3 players limped, from MP2, CO and BTN, so I made it 9xBB to go. The button, who has me just covered with 32xBB, called, but MP2 went all-in, and all called! I was shocked, but, considering that they were likely holding rather weak/medium hands, I decided to gamble it. The 3 players indeed flipped over QJo, A7s, and K3s, respectively. However, the button who was holding the K3s hit a 3 on the turn to win the pot.

I already know that people on Micro stakes like to gamble, especially in the early and middle stages of the tour. This means I have no fold equity in shoves then.

1) Should I take such gambles in Micro stakes games when people don't fold and like to gamble?
2) Is there a reason for me to study shoving ranges at all for a 20xBB-10xBB stack (eg as in https://www.mypokercoaching.com/push-fold-chart/)?
Or should I instead just do standard play with raises until I reach 5xBB? (I have been doing the latter sofar and it has worked well for me)

My experience in those situations (3 or more allin pre in tourneys and I holding AK) is to just grit my teeth and expect the worst.
2 of the players will be blocking my A and K because they jamming something like Ax or Kx suited, and one of the other jammers going to scoop with something like pocket 7's
