I don't think any new onion routing network bolted on to the Bitcoin network will be able to be more reliable than Tor or I2P with decades of research and development. Not to mention that Tor and I2P exist today and dandelion is vaporware that will never realistically be built.

It offloads the onion routing to Tor and I2P, two of the best anonymity networks to achieve an even better level of privacy. Building out a Bitcoin specific onion routing network using a parallel mempool is a fool's errand and will not be able to achieve the same results as the best researched and developed networks built specifically for anonymity.
