This is a fair point, and most likely these hands should not be called on the flop with two more players left to act.

Yes this is the other side of the coin. While suited aces could be played like this, we also need to ask, if this guy does not have any 3-betting range, because if he does, it should contain a fair amount of suited aces. Maybe solvers use a mixed strategy, but we cant realistically say, that all the suited aces are 100% in his flatting range preflop. Postflop it is pretty common though to take a passive line with the nut flushdraw, and maybe even more here due to the multiway nature of the pot.

I dont think, your sizing was that small. Admittedly I am a tournament player, so I am used to smaller bet sizes, but I would not call 40% pot a blocker size, that is going to induce raises. All in all I think, this is a very marginal spot, and I dont think, folding can ever be that bad. It would be more of a call in a heads-up pot against the preflop raiser, than it is here in a multiway pot against a field caller. Because as you say, for him to continue on the flop, he really should have either a strong made hand or a good draw. So when the main draw got there, and he suddenly wakes up with a raise on the river, it is pretty likely, that he has it.
