I was expecting a bet from the MP2 so I decided to check raise, but even after that the pot would still have enough
odds for someone to continue on a flush draw, that was probably the only real danger for my straight, so should I slow
play and just call to keep weaker hands on the pot and then try to check raise on river?

Isn't raising on the flop better option then calling?
You can build the pot. Someone behind you can call and in case MP2 calls CO is there for sure too. In case MP2 raises you will have pretty good idea what can he have (you know almost nothing when you call)and in case you hit you can adjust your play on turn because of this information.

But I might be wrong so feel free to correct me.

Turn: I would bet/raise.

I'm leaning towards a flop call because we probably get more value from the overcalls behind us + preserving our implied odds rather than getting an extra sb from 2 players and possibly more behind us. If we trapped 3+ players in between us and the raiser a raise becomes better.

Absolutely don't slowplay after you hit your straight raiseraiseraise! There's no logic that a weaker hand won't fold to action on the turn but will call the river, doing this just makes it so you get no value from draws which are a huge portion of their holdings.
