Tough river spot with a boat

You discuss as if you are four-of-a-kind-mining on the flop. (Flop favors his range, keep their (yours?) equity, "keep stack depth for implied odds", etc)

What do you mean? Do you think you are beat OTF?

@Yohan: not at all. I ready to get the money in OTF.
However, I' m thinking about my range in general. If I raise a set here, I need bluffs to raise as well and I don't really find good candidates. My draws are usually pretty strong here (JTs, XXcc, AJs) so I do not want to get 3bet if I have a bluff. And my draws profit a lot if SPR remains higher 3way. Also, this flop favors their range in general which is why I want to defend my range passively.

Your reasoning for not raising the flop doesn't make any sense.
You are 3 way, with a very vulnerable set and need to raise with the intention of going broke.
You want to raise to charge draws, as well as getting value from KQ.
You have hardly any hands on either of the players, so there's no need for such in-depth thinking.
Boil it down to the basics: we have a set, it's a drawy flop, raise.

The reasoning for checking flop is indeed not correct. You try to lure but we cannot lure villain unless we have a strong hand. As you indicated villain is mostly strong, we should raise flop and try to get it in.

No way you're ahead on the river, KJ KQ, i've seen it before

You've over thought the flop. You should raise. You have the best hand a large majority of the time, you need to protect it against a club coming on the turn which may have u beat or kill the action if you are ahead, you need to charge the draws, and if you raise here think opp always thinks u have a set? nope he thinks you have a draw or sometimes KX , he might even think you have KQ but isnt good enough to fold.

Turn again i would raise and GII , its worrying there is still 2 in the pot but its a draw heavy board so i still cant say we dont have the best hand here a lot.

As played fold river, there isnt this action without a boat or set at least.

So raise flop. As played raise turn. As played fold river.

Look, you have two opponents. Every :Ax:, every :Jx:, every and every spells trouble. Anyone having a GS, a FD, or two pair will play. Just raise and "worry about your range" another hand.
