I'm not playing AXs to make a pair. I play AK, AQ, KQ, AJ, etc to make pairs. If I happen to get weak pair with an A kicker, that is a complicated situation which I have make decisions about, but I was playing the hand to make a nut flush, so anything else is not my goal and complicates my line.
Am I stacking off with XXX every time?
In all cases, the answer is no. My holdings do not exclusively determine my bets. Pot odds, Villain's habits and our history play a significant role.
That said, if I choose to 3-bet an EP open from a reg when I have A2s from BB, then yeah... I fully expect my wheel straight to not be dominated by them showing up with 76 at showdown.
Villain's ranges matter.

It's not a good strategy for beginners, I agree. That's why I said, "if it's profitable at all."
