I would have slowed way down and check/called all the way. But then, I'm risk-averse.

Not good at all. If you're risk-averse, you shouldn't play poker. You need to take risks in poker a lot of them.

I'm not saying I don't like taking risks at all, I'm saying I'm choosier than most in deciding when to take them.

A small heads-up pot with this board and a ton of aggression against me rules out aggression on my part. Check/call or fold.

You said you would check/call all the way. That's not slowing down on the river, that's being passive and giving up bets when you are a huge favorite after the flop. If you mean ch/call the river, that is probably reasonable (although I would still bet against an idiot).
