Default Huge pot odds good enough for backdoor draws?

My flop call is questionable: one overcard and two backdoor draws but with huge pot odds. The overcard is very likely not good against a 3-bet pre-flop who comes out firing again, so is 19-1 good enough on the backdoors alone, especially as the board is paired?

So then I hit almost perfect, but possibly disasterous, cards on the turn and river. I feel certain that had I hit the flush or a straight without a flush possibility, I'd be raising here, fearing only a very unlikely full house. Apart from JJ in the small blind, I don't really see it.

Do I have any reason to fear a flush here from SB, BB or UTG+1?
