Rivered non-nut straight on paired board - 3-bet this?
 

Villain is loose and bad from the looks of it. So his flop call could be anything, and I expected him to fold the turn most times. Should I 3-bet the river?

Meh. You're beat by too many hands...various boats and a bigger straight. I would play it safe and just call, although I expect you are best here most often.

I suspect that you're good here more often than not. I think the only possible boat he could have is J9s... I would probably stick the rest of my stack in, but I can completely understand you wanting to play this cautiously.
