When do voiced protags work and when do they not?

They work 100% if the voice is good, silent protagonist doesn't work if the game has dialogs. It was cringe in hl2, it's uber cringe in exodus when artem can't answer on a radio call

I think there are some games where a character's circumstances wouldn't fit any voice that could possibly be assigned to them. take for instance half life 2. having some nerdy science guy chiming in as people treat him as the next jesus christ would be even more awkward than the patronizing one sided conversations that are in the game. you need the separation for suspension of disbelief to hold.
