I would think a shove makes our hand look more like T9 or JJ than a missed double gutshot and backdoor flush draw.

A shove in this spot just looks way more like a made hand that was slow played than it looks like a missed draw, literally 97 and 76 are the only draws he could possibly have had. He might put him on like AdKd, but there are still way more made hands in his range that shove this river given the line villain took.

Not to mention a shove in this spot looks strong as hell, given villain's line. I think the only way a shove is bad here is if you have a good reason to believe he, for whatever reason, would think that you wouldn't take this line with enough of the hands you're repping to fold the bottom 15-20% of his range.
