Are there any reasons this TapScript would be better
Taproot always allow you to spend coins by key, or by TapScript. If you provide a valid key, then you can always skip the whole TapScript, whatever it is.

than simply storing two Keys in the bunker from a 2 out of 3 multisig?
It is more expensive to use 2-of-3 multisig, if you can spend everything by a single signature. Just compare it:

Size: ‎204 bytes, Transaction: https://mempool.space/signet/tx/3e23b16739a909d69f536bed7738a0618af8b8ccdab32f7cebeab77111a66ac7
Size: 420 bytes, Transaction: https://mempool.space/signet/tx/a037170f1d35666c070a4f04138f1d9c34c64a8d86514e4254e75571997a575a

Of course, you can always push 420 bytes, instead of 204 bytes, but it is up to you. For bigger multisigs, spending by key is cheaper, than touching TapScript.

And even if you use P2WSH, demonstrated by ercewubam, then still:

Size: 315 bytes, Transaction: https://mempool.space/signet/tx/1f44edd2663a0b7492f092cd83a41aa4083462837066cdffde31da9e19302ed2
Size: 375 bytes, Transaction: https://mempool.space/signet/tx/b7b08e914cc7112d533b4e6c690ba1997c735cfafb83293d19aa838481ed3dd7

So, as you can see, multisig takes more bytes, when keys and signatures are explicitly pushed to the stack. It is up to you, if you want to pay more for your transaction or not. Also, Taproot has an additional benefit, that if only bunker is used, then nobody knows, that there is any 2-of-3 multisig at all, if it is never revealed (in P2WSH, the whole Script is always pushed, even if a single signature makes it cheaper).
