Hungary is a parliamentary system; Orban is the head of government and his party controls parliament. It is generally a problem in a parliamentary system if the government can’t get its agenda through.  Hell, the Israeli parliament dissolved because it couldn’t pass a routine bill.

If it is a "real" failure, that would be true. Symbolic failures are another thing. Orban would be in no danger of losing a confidence vote. If he and his party wants to make a point, they can just delay the vote saying they don't yet have a majority. Make people take notice of their "issues", let their pro-Russian MPs pontificate, then pass the membership. I point this out mostly to prevent people from being too concerned if it happens.

Turkey is a presidential system, so in theory there is more independence between the parliament and Erdowan.  Technically, AKP doesn’t have a parliamentary majority, so he might be able to raise a fuss.

Erdoğan can make a fuss, as is clearly demonstrated by the fact he did exactly that initially. It really has little to do with the parliamentary majority. He can hold that vote hostage if he wishes. Hopefully, he won't decide he isn't getting what was "promised". The vote, when it happens, will be positive. Erdoğan can be more of a problem because right now he is pretty much an autocrat. The theoretical structure of his government doesn't mean much. Obviously over this issue that control won't be tested, but the fact it is there is a big reason why it won't be.
