I think this is a good play to mix it up and it punishes light 3betters/isolators.

I like this move better in SS B&M situations where table texture is frequently LAGgy with a mix of limpers. I was in just this situation a few days ago where I had AA twice in the session. The second time I call UTG, one fold, one raise to 12, a call, fold, raise to 30, SB and BB fold, I shove yadda yadda yadda. Not a play I'd make very often, but after 2 hours with the same gaggle of players flat calling raises re-raises with 4 or 5 to the flop it seemed like OK timing. Online I rarely see that kind of play.

In my experience these kinds of players are few and far between at 100nl. So you'll end up in a lot of multiway pots and bad spots with your AA.

oh, and

Tbh I think you should not be using things like this at freakin 100nl, this is mid stakes thinking.

Just learn to valuebet and bluff at good spots and move up.

Why not, it'll work anywhere if you think the shorty will push. I prefer this in a tournament tho.

This is more correctly called a back raise. Typically calling a pfr w/ AA or KK then pushing over the top of a rr along with whatever callers come along. The rr does not have to be a shortie.

No, a back raise is when you cold-call a PF raise and shove/4-bet after someone squeezes. OP is talking about limping up front...AKA slow-playing.
