It is very likely a slowplay but because he is unknown and draws possible i went for a calldown.

This guy is way too maniac to consider folding with middle pair. too many draws possible and maybe he does even raise with a worse Tx. Against him, though you just have 49 hands, it's a nobrainer calldown. Very unlikely that you can raise almost 50% of your hands after 49 hands.

I think it's ok to call down. The 8 on the turn doesn't change a lot to the board, so it's a slowplay with a Kx Tx, or a semibluff with Axs or SC? Perhaps even a stonecold bluff.
A 3-bet on the Turn or raise on the River would isolate you against better hands, so imo just calldown.

3bet is useless as when he does have a draw, you won't gain more unless he decides to cap but that's just too speculative but in case he does have trips, he certainly caps almost 100% of the time and you don't get off that hand though. So bet/calldown is the best way. :)

And if you'd consider 3betting the turn, you should have at least AT as you beat JT and QT but your kicker is even too low for such a speculative valueplay.
