Hero???
Given the unique nature of this board, we lose to every single Ax hand except of A6 (A7 or higher beats hero with a higher kicker; A5 or worse beats hero with a Full House or the A2 Low Straight) 22s, 33s, 44s, 55s seem like they would all Limp-Call Pre, Float Turn & River...
What do I even beat here that would limp-call, float, float, and then Jam on this board?
I ended up folding because I honestly couldn't think of anything that would logically bluff here.

What are the stakes?
I think fold is OK. I'm assuming low stakes, and the kind of players who limp here are the kind who only make that kind of massive overbet jam with the nuts or near nuts. (Like you said, what else could be shoving and what bluffs are logical?) Like he's probably not value-jamming 65 for rivered two pair.
simple fold he's always better
