I check raised the flop because I read that it's the standard line when out of position and the opponent made the last raise preflop, but should I really be doing that if it was capped preflop and on such a board, or should i just donk out?

check/raise is fine. you want to get an extra bet from overcards like AK which would only call your donk. you don´t have to fear a free card because he has to contibet absolutely everything he capped preflop hu on this board. furthermore even if he really checks behind it isn´t that bad because a draw isn´t that likely. so the standard line is fine.
i would also cap the flop. i think his preflop capping range is something like TT+ and AK maybe AQ and you are way ahead against this range. of course he could have capped with 88 or some crazy holdings but that isn´t very likely imo. so cap flop, lead turn and call down to a raise. if only called easy bet/call river

//edit:
just to show you why you have to check/raise the flop
against a TT+, AK range we have more than 71% equity :)
