> that gets people jailed for visiting lgtbq+ sites or some shit when their payment providers are controlled by fascist governments

If that's your threat model, then there may be an additional threat of timing analysis on the blockchain.

If your threat actor has the resources of a nation state and is able to tap your ISP, the site's ISP, and your VPN's ISP, then you probably also don't want a permanent pseudonymous record of your activity in the form of a blockchain.

This is just an initial thought; I don't have any concrete reason to believe that blockchain forensics + timing analysis is any stronger than just one of those on its own.
