Im guessing you called because you thought villains range was polarised and not just blindly calling with 3rd pair so i guess good news is youre not a calling station. Bad news is i think its a pretty bad call. You can only really beat a few very specific draws. The straight got there which is a significant part of his range plus a few 2 pair hands got there. I would have probably given up on the turn.

You will get owned later in the hand. Folding the flop is ok. You can also 3b as a bluff on a dry board like this. But don't overdo this move.
And to answer your question. With your line, yes, it does look like a calling station. It is easy to play against. That is unless this is not your standard line. -

I like being a station against this guy on a lot of boards. Just not with how this one came off. I'd basically give it up to him on any 10 J Q or club for sure on the turn. Otherwise you can call turn and then call any river. This is how I'd play the hand if knew pretty well that he was going to triple barrel very often. If you think he gives up river bluffs a lot, then I think you can fold the aforementioned rivers as well.
Honestly, I'd only really be continuing on the flop if you thought he was a bit of a spot. If you think he is a little crazy but good... just give it to him IMO.

You know the guy likes to raise a lot of cbets. What are you hoping to accomplish cbetting here? If you expect him to raise worse, that's all well and good, do we know how he then responds on turn/river? If we check to him are we more likely to be able to get more value? I know our hand is not invulnerable. Would be interested to hear what the instructors think here. I guess the way we ameliorate their "flaw" is calling flop to c/f later in the hand, this is what we want to avoid.

Cbet is open for debate, as on k9xcc not many worse hands call your bet in the first place because most people fold < a nine because you can expect more barrels of the IR with Kx for value and bluffs with gutters/fd's.
Besides he doesnt seems the type to float QT here and give up on the turn, but will likely raise the flop.
Players who like to bluff raise, probably like to pound on checking oop HU aswell, so check calling seems the best play to me in this spot and re-evaluate the turn...
If you are afraid that your hand is to much face up, I guess you can add Kx for a percentage in your range and fd's sometimes with gutter/overcard to c/r turn?

I don't mind the river call once you get there, but I think you definitely need to fold this turn.
Too much of his semibluffing range connected, and you're going to be oop on the river, with no river cards helping you much.

Too often his flop CRing hands pick up a 10 on the turn for a pair plus draw. And if he CRed you with air the 10 is a great card for your range, so you'd expect him to slow down.
So unless you are sure he seldom barrels his pair plus draw on the turn when he gets it(even with the flush draw on board), it's tough to call him down. But if you're sure he's the kind of player who is polarized on the turn alot, then I have to say great read and great call.
