I disagree with this reasoning. Straights will not want to play this board aggressively unless they have a good draw or made hand on the other board as well. Straights are very vulnerable in double board pots, especially bomb pots, due to the high probability of getting quartered.
I am leaning towards a fold here. We scoop only against bluffs, and although a hand with Qx/99 + Kd or whiffed hearts might take this line, the chance of us winning the whole pot here is slim so basically we are calling to chop and we will also get scooped some of the time.
But it’s close.
