too paranoid of flush draws?

I agree.

Also, if you're afraid of flush draws, don't forget that if you bet half-pot you're still making them draw with poor odds.

This assumes you can play the river perfectly. If the river is a diamond do you check fold? The opponent here could just as likely have KT as a flush draw. If you call then you are giving better odds than you think.

A secondary advantage of all-in on the turn is that you cannot make a mistake on the river.
