I think on many dry boards, the EV of flatting top set is higher than the EV of raising top set. I think on this particular board they probably run pretty close together as there are a few draws about.
I'm not really sure what you mean by "damaging" our raising range. It's pretty easy to find a balanced raising range of sets/combo draws and weak equity bluffs here after flatting JJ. I would think that dropping JJ from our raising range on the flop will have a much smaller effect than capping our flatting range on blank (i.e. half the deck) turns/rivers against good aggressive players.
Anyway, as I said before, I think either raising or calling flop is fine. I don't think it's a no brainer either way. I think raising our entire continuing range is pretty much a no brainer no though, especially as we probably only have 5-10 or so combos of legitimate value raising hands here.
