The Elder Ogre's appearance in the Bloodless Stockade is totally random without the Rancid Meat Bait technique, hence the "complicated" farming explanation.

To address your second point, I find that inflicting Torpor on the Elder Ogre with a Rusted Weapon dramatically improves your pawn's chances of avoiding attacks that might knock them off the bridge (or any incoming attacks in general).
