Right but propagating exclusively via Tor/I2P even via proxy is not desirable for everyone due to reliability, but again its def an improvement. I don't think an anonymity set assumption makes sense for Dandelion++ as we're not hiding in a crowd, it's rather the idea of a sneakernet: since P2P traffic is encrypted now it's more the idea of passing messages out of band. You could likely observe who is running a stempool, but shouldn't be able to see much more beyond that

I don't think any new onion routing network bolted on to the Bitcoin network will be able to be more reliable than Tor or I2P with decades of research and development. Not to mention that Tor and I2P exist today and dandelion is vaporware that will never realistically be built.

I don't think it makes sense to compare the two. Tor and Dandelion serve completely different purposes. Let's agree to disagree.
