It's definitely WA/WB so raising doesn't achieve much.

Since the pot was 3bet and his flop bet is pretty large, calling here is going to be suggestive of a lot of strength and pretty serious commitment. How often are you calling there with JJ, for example, or floating when you'll have only about the pot left behind or the turn? If you shove now, he can at least convince himself that you're bluffing and try looking you up with JJ, QQ or the occasional KQ. There's only one KK and three AAs left, and it's probably a little unlikely that he has them from preflop, so on this board you are very rarely going to be behind. So feel free to bomb it in here, I think.

I think this is excellent logic and it would definitely work against me if I were the villain. I'm not convinced it's a good plan in the micros with no reads though. How many villains are going to go through that thought process here?
