If you're talking about the flop, isn't the benefit of them (or one of them) calling with their junk outweighing the downsides of your two points?

If we believe that we are in fact ahead a significant portion of the time, and/or that one or more of them will call our flop bet with a weaker hand/unprofitable draw a significant portion of the time, then yes. But my opinion is that neither of these are often the case after a flop like this, nor is it at all likely that either of them will fold a better hand to our bet.

I think we're much better off allowing them to either let us draw for free or to make a bluff with one of those worse hands, especially if we can then isolate on that bluff with a check/raise. Or to allow them to bet, rather than raise our bet, with a made hand.
