I think this bluff works more than 75% of the time.

a bluff in the literal sesne (trying to fold a better hand) is effective 0% of the time here, imo.

True, however, there is a quite large # of holdings that villain could have that we are ahead of - overcards, 1over/1under, some sort of straight draw / picked up FD.

We bet the turn to protect our hand - we don't mind him folding correctly because we can't call a bet if we check...we make way more mistakes check-folding the turn (by letting him bet us out of the pot with worse hands) than by betting and sometimes having him call with a better hand.
