because it only works for nodes running behind Tor/I2P, which means that it improves obfuscation only to that percentage. Definitely better than nothing, but not complete heuristic breakage which Dand...

That's not exactly true though, your node and the peer you anonymously connect to can both be clearnet for Tor. You just need a tor proxy available to your node and it can route it through an exit node.
Similar for I2P, except the peer must be behind I2P as well.
It breaks all heuristics if used today for any transactions sent with it. For dandelion, you need many peers running it to hide in an anonymity set.

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 traff...
