I don't think your straight draw is strong enough to be calling all those bets, you just have a regular open ended straight draw, the 3 and 4 you're holding are dead cards cause if the 5 comes up you get the higher straight anyways.

A good hand for this spot would be somethin like 8 9 T 5, so you have 12 outs for your straight, if any of those cards hit, as oppose to your 6 outs.

I'm no pro, but I don't think you should be calling the flop bets. As played the turn is good, you have the nuts so its best to get all your money in here.

you can fold on the flop. you only have an open ender (that's really not that much in PLO) and you don't have great odds to draw. If you hit then opponents are likely to have redraws with sets/backdoor FDs.
One other important thing which shows the complexity of PLO here is that a Ten on the turn is a clean out, however it also makes every T/J/Q/K/A typish hand combination a higher straight-redraw, if it's just a gutshot, openneder or even a wrap. so your ten isn't as clean as it seems, which makes to fold on the flop even easier
