$3500 WPT Main - AJs OTB after an open and three flats
Late day 1, blinds 600/1200/1200.
Starting stack 50k, avg now 75k, hero 30k (25bb).
Utg+1 (very active) opens to 2500, 3 callers, hero OTB with AJs.
Is this a shove?

Yes - there's a ton of dead money out there and UTG+1 is wide.
Shove, you can still rebuy
I think this is spot on. If your read on OR was that they were a bit tighter then we can call suited, probably just fold offsuit. Problem with flatting here is that now the BB comes along and you are going to see a flop 6 ways where even a JT7 or a AT8 flop could be problematic for us. When we jam here, we get through a lot and increase our stack by ~50% without showdown and then the times we run into AQ+ TT+ against the original raiser the dead money more than makes up for the equity difference. Also worth noting the flatters seldom have you beat outside of the occasional AQ from first caller and then pairs 77-TT at best from the other flatters.
