I think turn is very debatable and river is obviously not an easy spot but i feel somewhat a bit easier than figuring out what to do on the turn

The only hands that i can really see taking a free card are 99 or 109s.
However I don't expect the population of 50 NL zoom regs to bluff off 180bb all that frequent, especially since the 8 improves all your QQ-AA if he had TJ. This is something for which 50 NL regs are better equipped than me.
Also if you think they will play very straightforward this deep, you could bet 60% again on the turn and give up after that. The smaller you bet the more he will call with hands that you still beat.
The con to betting turn with this hand is that you'll often river a bluffcatcher on spades or straightening cards, and competent villains will correctly bet their missed draws as well as their 2PR+ combos, forcing you to x/f your equity. But don't let a marginal river decision on less than half the deck cause you to lose value on the flop and turn.
Also, 6.5 is too much. 3.5x OOP is plenty.
Bet slightly bigger on flop.
Bet turn and decide on river.
You played it fine.
