If anything coinjoins are worse. They don't hide amounts. Since amounts are visible it leaves you more open additional heuristics that can reduce/undo obfuscation.

Some coinjoins may have a larger anonymity set for a single coinjoin, but I doubt that is true over time and over multiple transactions since they are optional. Very few transactions are coinjoins and the few that do are likely not for every spend. Additionally your anon set shrinks over time as those prior coinjoin peers make mistakes or send those funds to be KYC'd by exchanges and there is nothing you can really do about that.

Strong default privacy is important.
