Surely, if you believe you have the best hand, check/pushing is far superior to open-pushing. Also, you are overestimating what type of hands will be calling an open-push. IMO, a typical player is definitely folding a T here.

Check-pushing assumes someone is likely to bet. You say a typical player will fold a T, but will also bet it. I think that is completely contradictory. I can't imagine a situation where I would fold this hand on the flop, and extracting value isn't really a concern - hand protection is.
