CTV's strongest use case is congestion control. This doesn't reduce the amount of on-chain txs, it actually increases them but you can delay broadcasting the outputs. This can help smooth out fee spikes but does not increase throughput.

Ark broadcasts a tx every 5 seconds. Each ark service provider multiplies this number. That's a lot of transactions.

Other UTXO sharing schemes need to be unwound somehow. For a unilateral exit this usually means multiple transactions. Same dynamics play out in lightning with only two channel peers. Imagine having 10 or 100 UTXO sharing peers. Unwinding that will take a lot of block space and you probably won't get to pick the timing.

Covenants are going to supercharge the value you can get for your block space. But I think this will make it more scarce, not less.

ark parameters are specific to their vision but not mandatory. the basic idea of ark and of timeout tree is that in the happy path you don't need to eventually settle the txns because you can nullify them and sweep the root of the taproot
