Trickle connections are an interesting idea and will work for some applications where high latency and possibly low throughput are okay. I look forward to reading that paper. Though re: traffic analysis, if your traffic stands out too much (i.e. for relatively low n on a global scale), then you'll still have issues[0]. And the devil's in the details, as Tom Ritter's fine work around AAM[1] has shown.
