Its my experience that units with MR of 22 or 23 are paralyzed 100% of the time. The units in question were a Succubus and Arch Devil each with Amulets of Antimagic. Each faced a single Illithid, and each was paralyzed instantly.
When playing with R'lyeh I've had multiple illithds mind bLast a single vaetti or jotun giant several times before they were paralyzed. So it's not 100% even with much lower MR than 22.
