it is a noun. unfortunately the english glosses don't indicate that. should at least get a gerund

I'd be interested in having other opinions on this but to me it seems that it behaves like a noun. You can have 人情の板挟み, 板挟みになる,部下の板挟み (from gg5). In fact, you could argue that it's not really an expression since it can be part of multiple expressions.
