I feel like I have to raise this flop for both value and protection. I cannot risk another player coming behind. If the original donk leader comes over the top, I would probably consider folding. (?)

The turn was awkward, I mean, given his flop call. We can put him on lots of draws, including flush draws. But my worry was, can I really call a shove if I bet here, lets say I bet $13 and setup for a river shove.

The turn isn't a great card but I still bet it & xb almost all rivers. As played it's close, we block some FDs but I also don't hate a fold because I don't see him doing this often with worse. And it's not that he only has flushes, he could have sets, 2pairs & maybe straights aswell.
Why isn't the turn so great?
Your flop and turn analysis doesn't seem very consistent. If we have a clear value raise on the flop then not alot has changed on the turn. If he can have turned 2 pairs with A7 then he also has A5,A6 which aren't folding now they have a gutshot. Bet/calling a bare 56 without diamonds (and that likely bet/jams anyway) seems unlikely. If he is never calling the flop with A9-AQ our value raising the flop is debatable.
Seems a very clear turn bet to me as played.
Specifically given we have the Kd makes me lean more towards calling the flop since we block him having the nutflush draw and also can happily call again on a diamond turn. I also don't think it is a problem to risk another player coming in behind. Nobody is folding a hand that beats us or a huge draw. The hands we fold out that would overcall are primarily hands which have 3 outs against us. I'm happy to keep them in.
I dont thinnk we can call the flop with 2 players to act behind? And my reasoning for getting it heads up was that my hand isn't going to play well 4 way over 3 streets. Once I am heads up. The dynamics change a lot.
