is it really that bad of a play?
if I put me in my opponents shoes I cannot see how he can continue comfortable without a very good hand and I price myself in to call an eventual push and can double or bust directly.

As I said, 3-bet less and fold to a 4-bet. You don't have odds to call with the straight draw. If villain 4-bets, he usually has a big hand like 2-pair or a set. It is OK to sometimes fold a draw on the flop. This is not a strong draw, and you should not be looking to go allin with it.

the main idea was obv not to go all-in, it was to increase my stack with 10% (which I think I do this way the absolute majority of the time), however, I make the raise that big so if he pushes I can comfortable call with close to neutral cEV.
I know its a high variance play and I very seldom go for a quick bust or double but I know many successful players do and it was just some kind of "backup" plan as stated if I dont just pick up the pot.
