With re-shove stacks behind you that you must call I would fold 55 as well and you don’t want to clash against the big stack ether.

55 is a clear fold here! No need to risk chips on a marginal pocket pair especially when there are two shorties at the table.

I just checked this in ICMizer and it says only to push AA here. Would you guys consider to push KK here at these stakes? Or should we really stick with AA?

Icmizer does not consider MPs loose Stats. We should not only push AA against this opponent.

TT+
AQo+
AJs+

It’s good to know what kind of ranges you gave your opponent’s here, but I would stack of with TT+ and AK here most likely. Wider would be ICM suicide I think against a loose chip leader that could call to wide most likely.

This makes sense to me because the BTN can still do harm to our stack - if we loose an all in against him, we loose about half of our stack and a lot of EV.
