Was this too impatient? Villain had been routinely minraising in the sb.

Given your read, a top 25% hand, too much to call - with intentions of c/f'ing...I think this is fine.

S'n-G is the other option. I think you might have just enough FE to get him to lay this down PF had this been his 'typical' min-raise. But given a nice little drawing hand like this, it does make this option more attractive.

I like checkfolding. Calling would probably be a better option if it didn't mess up our FE so much for the following hands.

How can you stop and go on the flop when SB acts first, blue?

I think I'd actually fold here and push any two the next hand.

close enough with a read to push - folding is better than calling IMO

If you had 2070 after posting the BB, I'd have to say impatient. Had you had a smaller stack like UTG, I'd like the play better.
