So would you recommend just getting an additional extension tube rather than the filter?

I'm not recommending anything. I'm pointing out that using 40mm extension with your 50mm would produce 0.95x magnification. It's more common to use extension tubes with short primes and diopters with the long focal lengths.

That is my impression too.

Using the 29mm tubes at 29mm with a zoom lens should produce 1:1 at infinity in theory, but I don't know if you can do it in real world.

The zoom is probably not very good at 29mm and close focus. So throw on an extension tube, and you might be in for a disappointment. My guess - and it is a guess  but based on my past experience with tubes - is that a close up lens would work better with that zoom lens.
