I think, AK is way to strong to check back turn, but bet sizing should be smaller, when Villain has so little left behind. The turn pairing the 7 also makes it less likely, Villain has a 7 (now AX, KX and 7X are all equially blocked), and there is even an argument, that 7X might not always call the flop bet. It was a 3-way pot, and the board absolutely smashes Heros range, plus he went for a relatively large size. So while its usually GTO strategy to continue on the flop with any hand, that flopped a pair, this is absolutely a situation, where it could be reasonable to fold a 7, especially if it dont have a BDFD attached to it.

Not saying that Villain is a GTO type player (then he would not have limped), or that he would actually fold a 7. But it would certainly not be crazy by him, given that Hero has a ton of AX and KX in his range, and unless Hero is bluffing, 7X has very poor equity and will often end up folding on a later street. What we absolutely can not assume, is that Villain will make a somewhat loose call on the flop with a 7 but then at the same time make a very tight fold with top pair on the later streets, when all AX chop the pot with the board counterfeiting the kicker. And for that reason AK absolutely has to go for stacks here, while AQ and worse become 2 street hands.
