just like bitcoin 51% vulnerability

Interesting how sustainable urban legends are. Like http://fc14.ifca.ai/papers/fc14_submission_82.pdf has never existed.

No you are incorrect. It requires greater than 50% to stall the blockchain by censoring all transactions.

The selfish mining attack you have cited (which only requires 33% control) is applicable to fairness of distribution of rewards, not censoring transactions (as a form of making the blockchain stuck).
