Does anyone like a small 4bet here?

This seems like the worst possible choice to me. A small four-bet has less folding equity than usual, meaning you fail to grab that $9 pot that is definitely worth scooping up. Also, you're going to be OOP on three more betting rounds in a huge pot where you're going to miss the flop 2/3rds of the time. If you're going to build a huge pot OOP you really want to end the betting immediately. The best argument for a push here is that it completely eliminates any chances that you make an expensive FTOP mistake, and it maximizes the chances that your opponent makes an expensive FTOP mistake. That can be nothing but good for you.
OOP and against an unknown but probably aggressive opponent with a strong drawing hand, I'd rather just put it all in and see where the chips fall. Anything else is going to be more expensive in the long run.

are people really 3beting UTG opens with hands like KQo, 99, TT, AQ?

Yeah, they are.
