Is folding BTF too weak tight?

Hero gets a "dream" flop and still can't confidently play

Yes, it is too weak/tight.

This is not a dream flop. A dream flop would be AT4 or KQT.

Just reraise preflop. It is liekely villain was stealing preflop and doesn't want a confrontation with a big stack and will fold to the reraise.

If you really want to simplify things, push preflop. It is unlikely the CO raise from the chip leader is JJ-AA. A reasonable size reraise pretty much pot commits you. The push might be misread as AK/AQ. You have position and a push is an overbet, but it is better than folding.
