Default Is limp/calling with AA a reasonable approach?

In this forum, people tend to say raise initially with big pairs, and definately reraise if you limp, but I see people limp/calling with AA a lot. Is this a bad play.

This hand is from a $100 MTT, and villain is Ronenon, who appears to be sort of a regular.

I was sort of suspicious of the UTG limp from this player, but it was hard to limp behind with JJ. The river bet looked like a value bet, and I thought maybe I shouldn't have called.
