It's my personal opinion that you would get much more value out of this discussion If you said hero has XxYy on the flop versus a villain who plays optimally, what is the GTO way to play your entire range?
Should we ever lead? If so, how can we balance that range while still leaving our checking range strong enough that we can plausibly c/r with a good frequency? Etc.
From there, you can place your specific hand within that range and then make some very basic, very high-level adjustments to how an unknown player at 10nl who is up and opened the CO for 3bbs on the first hand differs from GTO, and play ever-so-slightly exploitatively from there.
As is, I think you're just getting a lot of advice on "tough" situations (which tend to be in the minority of poker hands and tend to be the lowest leverage ones, tbh), and all of these hands are relatively strong PF hands that are hitting good flops.
That's just my 2c. I know I've had conversations with some people offline about this sort of approach to HH study, and not everyone necessarily agrees, but I think this flop in particular is a fascinating situation and an extremely important one.
