The 50% success rate that is just the chance per second assuming aggro has been lost. If aggro is not lost, it’s a 0% chance of doing anything. So really it’s a game of RNG, will you lose aggro at the fraction of a second taunt remains active and your finger is pressing the button?

When you have a 0% chance of success because you already have agro, this 0% chance applies to both strategies. If you lose agro, you have a 50% chance or an 8.33% chance of success based on the strategy you are using. It's really that simple.
The only difference between the two strategies is when you press the button. It's a single variable that is changing. All other factors apply to both strategies equally. I am not sure why this is difficult to understand.
The benefit of spamming taunt is you are spending a bit less brain power on worrying about pressing taunt, while still getting a chance of success. The benefit of using strategic taunting is you have a higher chance of success at the cost of a bit more brain power and having to click a specific button at the right time. Both strategies have tangible pros and cons. Luckily the opportunity cost of a single missed taunt due to switching between strategies is extremely small, because taunt is unreliable and it has a short cooldown. Don't be afraid to miss a taunt once in a while. If you hesitate because you are afraid of wasting a taunt, that is also hurting your success rate.
