Okay I guess.

Can you explain your cbetting strategy when you are checking TP after an open 3 handed?

If your gameplan is to check call the flop this hand makes a lot more sense to c/r the turn, you won't have too many better hands that are c/cing the flop outside of J9 and that is if we assume a very passive flop strategy where you hardly cbet outside of a set or flopped 2p.

I cbet value hands and semi bluffs with equity to improve to beat hands that would call me. I lean towards checking those with higher potential to improve to better hands, and I tend to check the worst top pairs that I have (if I'm quick enough to consciously do this).

here, j9/JQ essentially the same hand to me. heads up, I cbet JQ. three way, I require stronger hand to cbet for value and so remove JQ in three handed pot as my "adjustment" for three handed pot (all above talk assuming this exact flop)

x/r the turn would be great if I could do it 100% of the time.
my opinion is that this button is shutting down frequently with the action he has received from two calls on the flop. hoping to check raise is nearly a fantasy with the strength of ranges being displayed from flop action. I believe donking is higher EV

x flop pretty std.

I think you are on the right track with your reasoning for the flop check, but i think you are underrating how high up in your range this hand is OTF and I would argue this should very much be in your value range. I think you should be putting QX with a heart more into your checking range as you have good hand to have on a decent number of turns.

If you are mixing this hand as a lead and c/r some % of the time, I don't think there is an issue with that but I wouldn't lead 100% of the time. You will simply get them to fold a ton with way too good of a hand.

A lot of people seem to be unwilling to possibly let a card peel off if they are vulnerable to some run outs, but if you never c/r your good hands you never make money from the weaker parts of their range that would still stab.

I just realized the stack depth, you would have a pot sized shove basically if he 2nd barreled a reasonable size since he start the hand short, makes a great spot to c/shove for value. If you are check calling a flop and basically hit your gin card you want an avenue to try and stack someone (speaking in generalities this texture isn't a slam dunk but you have a pretty solid candidate for it).

wp, our numerous combos of AK would have smartened him up and plenty of hands to get value from that wont pay off river.

I like it

Flop seems standard. I wouldn't donk myself, but I don't mind the turn lead at all, as BTN wants to check back and take a free card quite often, and SB also has some draws. Check-calling also seems viable. Your AK combos should probably go for the check-raise though.
