Kmind, could you please explain a bit more about your line of thinking? Why do you think bet sizing based on hand strength could be a flaw?
P.S. I definitely need to be taking more notes. It becomes difficult for others to give advice without any reads all the time.
At your stakes you don't really have to worry about balancing so your plan can have some merit. But overall, I think you should be looking at the board texture/villain(s)'s range and decide to a sizing because of that more so than if you hit. It's especially important if you start moving up.
This hand in particular, though, you have a shallow stack. In most cases, when you bet more villain's continuing range will be stronger plus when he shoves/raises you are kind of screwed with pot odds. Betting smaller thus creates two things here for value. It keeps in weaker hands and you're not committed if raised.
And then when you whiff the flop and cbet as a bluff you'll need much less folds to be +EV.
