Isn't that why networks like i2p exist?
yes, I was about to mention that i2p does have some of the characteristics that a tor replacement should have. Like
1) all users are also routers. 2) it's not funded by the pentagon. 3) there are no central 'directory authorities' - it's a p2p network.

looks like i2p COULD do traffic padding, but it's not doing it.
"Other potential benefits of I2P but not yet implemented" "create a tunnel that will handle 500 messages / minute, where the endpoint will inject dummy messages if there are insufficient messages"
for what it's worth, I tried i2p in the past a few times and abandoned it after a few days because I didn't find any interesting content in the network. My assumption was that if there was no 'illegal' content, then the system must have some (serious) flaw. On second thought I realize that's not necessarily the case at all.
It seems you can configure tor browser to route over i2p: https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/di6efs/configure_tor_browser_90a7_to_w... Freenet is another like-minded project. In addition to routing, it can host content: https://freenetproject.org/pages/documentation.html
