I think any recommendation of targeting 50-75% of the linearity limit would be for the case where you want to maximize SNR. Of course if you only need a certain SNR, then design your observation accordingly. For transit photometry, a cadence of 2 minutes is usually fine to sample the transit shape (5 minutes is often acceptable), but that of course depends in the event duration and shape of the expected transit.
