There are many other characters that have effects that trigger when taunting, no matter how the taunt came about.
Bossk: His unique Trandoshan Rage says "Bossk has +50% Defense and +50% Max Health while he has Taunt..."
Fives: His unique Domino Squad says "...If Echo is present, Fives has +100% Defense when Taunting..."
Echo: His unique Domino Squad says "...If Fives is present, Echo deals +100% more damage when Fives is Taunting..."
Kylo Ren (Unmasked): His (zeta) unique Scarred says "...Kylo has +50% Counter Chance, doubled while he has Taunt."
Sun Fac: His unique Hive Tactics says "When Sun Fac Taunts, he gains Defense Up, Health Up, and Health Steal Up for 2 turns..." (I just confirmed that Wat's taunt tech triggers all these buffs, and his allies even get them at the beginning of second and third waves because it appears that Sun Fac loses Taunt at the end of an encounter and then regains it at the beginning of the next encounter.)
Sith Empire Trooper: His unique Vaiken's Legacy says "Whenever a Sith ally uses a Special ability or falls below 50% health, ... If he already had Taunt, he gains Retribution for 2 turns."
Juhani: Her unique Cathar Resilience says "While Taunting, Juhani has +35% Counter Chance...If Juhani is Taunting when she meets this condition, she loses Taunt."
Shoretrooper: His unique says "Whenever another allied Empire unit uses a special ability, if Shoretrooper is Taunting, they gain 15% Turn Meter and Shoretrooper recovers 10% Max Health."
Thus there are at least 8 characters who have specific effects from their uniques that happen while they are taunting...all of these should work with Wat's taunt tech.
There are five I could find (including Stormtrooper Han) who have a special-triggered Taunt effect like Stormtrooper Han: Stormtrooper, Old Ben, Gamorrean Guard, and Kanan. These effects seem like they will not work when Wat (or anyone else) forces a taunt.
Stormtrooper: His special Stormtrooper Bravado says "...Stormtrooper removes 10% Turn Meter from each enemy whenever he is damaged while Taunting." I have not tested to see if this effect works with Wat's forced Taunt tech.
Old Ben: His special Devoted Protector says "Old Ben gains Taunt for 2 turns. When this Taunt expires, Old Ben gains Taunt for 1 turn..."
Gamorrean Guard: His special Muscle In says "...The Gamorrean Guard gains Protection equal to 15% of his Max Health while Taunting." (You can see that this is an old skill because it doesn't specify Bonus Protection or say "recovers Protection" like the more recent verbiage.)
Kanan: His special Intervene says "...While Kanan has this taunt buff, his Tenacity is doubled." It would also be nice if that could be moved to Kanan's unique, since Bastila Shan lead forces Kanan to taunt.
Bossk: His unique Trandoshan Rage says "Bossk has +50% Defense and +50% Max Health while he has Taunt..."
Fives: His unique Domino Squad says "...If Echo is present, Fives has +100% Defense when Taunting..."
Echo: His unique Domino Squad says "...If Fives is present, Echo deals +100% more damage when Fives is Taunting..."
