Check the river.You are not beating 50% of his calling range.

I would blocker bet river, try to get a curiosity call out of KJ/KQ/QT, definitely any junky ace will call. Of course we're folding to the shove.

Checking the river is results oriented. We only lose to 4 combos of QTs and 6 combos of AQo. We should be betting on the smaller side to get value from hands like AK,AT,QJ,A5

I dont think all AK and A5 are in standard SB calling range.
Even with your range where we only lose to 4 combos od KT and 6 of AA and wint vs AK(8) A5s(1) QJs(1) ATs(2) we only win vs 54% of that range so when we add c/r bluffs this goes negativ in EV.

This is $5nl vs. an unknown villain. Somehow I think we can bet some amount that AT or worse will call.

It obviously depends on villain.
If it was me, you have 0% equity on the river, because AQo is the only hand in my range at that point. I'm not flatting a larger than 3x open by UTG with QJs/ATs or anything like that.
A lot of 5NL/2NL players seem to love calling in the SB though, so maybe you can bet for value.

I think this line is completely fine assuming that you folded to the raise as people will call too wide.

That being said you do need to be thinking about why you are betting and what hands you are expecting to call your bet both that you beat and that you lose to as even in a weaker call heavy game this is going to be very thin.
