Was this too carelessly played? I feel his check on the flop is signalling AK or AQ rather than a trap usually and I should be able to call a check-shove with my hand.

The 3bet min line is very wird, and can represent a lot AA, KK, SC L / M / H, Axs, with the goal of taking the coontole of the hand for a low cost. Why do not you 4bet PF? QQ has an average value in this situation but not for call down. The board was very oblivious. In such a situation you should forget your caratas and think only in his range. What hands would he play that way on this board? Or some FD, or some hand made with fear of the drwas if it completes me in the river .... Sincerely I would have folded.

Just calling pre is ok imo, since SB should 3bet MP open quite tight.
Flop call is fine.
Betting turn is good but I think slightly smaller bet size would be better. When he check raises turn after betting river it is very often a very strong hand. I think folding would be the best option.

Not sure how big of a mistake it is to call though. If we want to play unexploitably maybe this would be a call since it is one of your strongest hands here? However I think in this situation villains range may be significantly stronger.

Call preflop vs the 3b is fine.
Flop call is ok.
Betting turn after his x is ok. We can make it smaller though.
The xr is strong especially here so folding is ok.
