The key word in the guidance is “persistently” misgendering. So if someone gets the pronouns right 95% of the time, that’s hardly “persistent”. These guidelines target employers/people who willfully and purposefully mis gender/discriminate. If you’re trying to claim these rules make you afraid to talk to trans people, you might want to take a long hard look at your own biases/phobias.
Even if someone only gets it right 50% of the time, it probably wouldn’t be an issue. Like you said, it’s only for those cases where someone is doing it wrong on purpose.

Or saying the correct pronoun in a patronising way.
