PLO50: Good spot for OOP triple barrel with AA?

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (5 Players) BN: $43.63
SB: $18.15
BB: $52.05 (Hero)
UTG: $55.69
CO: $26.46
All opponents have been loose-passive over a small sample.
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is BB with 4 A A 9
UTG calls $0.50, CO folds, BN calls $0.50, SB calls $0.25, Hero raises to $2.50, UTG folds, BN calls $2.00, SB calls $2.00
I've been trying to think harder about spots to slow down with AA preflop, but I don't think this is one of them. Potaments, imo.
Flop ($8.00) J 3 2
SB checks, Hero bets $6.50, BN calls $6.50, SB folds
The trouble with this flop is that I often have the best of it but I'm not doing so well that I necessarily want to bloat the pot.

I decided to bet for protection, ready to fold due to lack of equity against a loose-passive player's value/raising range. I also have the wheel draw, but this isn't PLO8 so it's not super valuable.
Turn ($21.00) J 3 2 4
Hero bets $17.00, BN calls $17.00
Picking up some two-pair/trips outs, I decided to fire a big second barrel. Even with so little behind, I'm not sure I can call a raise, but it didn't come to that.
River ($55.00) J 3 2 4 6
Hero
I thought a long time about what to do here.

Having the Ah blocker is pretty nice. Villain is somewhat unlikely to have been drawing to a backdoor heart flush, but what do they have otherwise?

Spades makes sense.

A hand like 456 could be calling the flop, but you'd think they would jam the turn.

A hand like QQ/KK/AJ could be sticking around. Maybe 33/22?

What's our move?

Feedback on every street is quite welcome.
