Yeah, it is OK to check fold without further reads, and it is also OK to sometimes check call or check raise hands like AA or AxKs for some balance.
And if you're going to cbet in a 4b pot, half pot is more than enough (if you half pot every street, you will be all in by the river).
If you have a read that this guy is capable of 3b/calling pre with suited connectors or 22-TT, and then bluff the flop when checked to, then the case for cbetting becomes much stronger because it is going to make the hand much easier to play. Yes you would fold all his worse hands and he would continue with all his better hands, but it prevents you making much bigger mistakes when you check and he bets.
