I have 162 hands on this guy, he has a healthy 43% opening rate from the button. But, he seems to be a bit afraid of 3-bets - so far he has a fold of 3/3 on 3 bets, and only 3-betted 3% himself. We weren't in a crazy blind war.

I don't see what he would value bet at the river except for AA/QQ/1010 or a hit flush. He doesn't seem at all like someone who would bluff in this position (didn't see it much at NL5 from regs). Am I being too conscious here by folding?

Reviewing the hand, I think it would be better to barrel again on the turn and play check/fold on the river. I think I was scared of just letting him fold worse hands than mine. Any advice how I should've played this hand?

The sample is really small to have a indication of his 3bet fold% on long run.
I would just go for the standard line and Cbet all streets to get it in on the river.
If villain would raise or shove on 1 point you can still consider folding.
Off course this isn't the greatest river card for a shove,
