This increases their strength, speed, and defenses; Things that are crucial for taijutsu. 8-gates: Through taijutsu, the user releases their natural limiters, which releases all of their chakra, greatly enhancing their strength, speed, and defenses at the cost of their body and even life. Chakra-enhanced Strike and Nintaijutsu both require Chakra control, while the 8-gates doesn't. Chakra-enhanced Strike only enhances the user strikes(and overall strength, if the need be), while Nintaijutsu and the 8-gates enhances all aspects that are crucial for taijutsu:strength, speed, and defense. I hope that answers all of your questions.
