You guys don't think this is getting a bit too fancy? He's a horrible player and all, but even horrible players sometimes check behind when there's a one-gapper straight on the board.

It seems like he has a TJ QJ, i doubt this player checks them.

I'm also rather uncomfortable with putting two bets into a large pot heads up on the river and then not even getting to see a showdown.

If you are uncomfortable for emotional reasons then get over them, sure it sucks to fold on the river but that's poker. you could test this, at that decision you'll be getting 16:1, as a side bet, after he's 3 bet would you take a bet of 16:1 from me that he doesn't have the straight? Say wager $200 for a potential $3.8k payoff when he has the straight. Same applies to my AA top set hand. People are just way too attached to 'big hand, big pot, must showdown'.

If you are uncomfortable because this lag is a type of lag who would throw in the extra bet just because he is pissed off then call the 3 bet, i'd still take this line because i think that 3 bet is rarely coming.
