I don't see anything *wrong* with pushing a 51:49 equity edge, but I also think that the big profits in PLO8 come from catastrophic mistakes made by your opponents - not from winning weighted coinflips.
In the case of the AJ28 vs A355 hand, I think your opponent would be better off if he called your raise rather than 3-betting; assuming he gives you credit for a low wrap, he can then fold if an A/3/5 comes on the turn, jam on a high card, and call on any other low card. Or something like that. Pretty sure that gives him better expectation than jamming the flop.
