I think this topic is fascinating and important, but I support keeping it out of scope for MASQUE. The countermeasures you've mentioned are, I think, largely separable from the MASQUE protocol, and MASQUE is a challenging enough problem already. If we want to consider the metadata revealed by the client's pattern of connections, I think that should go in a different draft, and perhaps a different working group. It should also be informed by empirical and theoretical research that we haven't done. I do think this is a good reminder that we should keep MASQUE flexible enough to enable research and experimentation. For example, it might be worth reviewing how well MASQUE supports connection migration and load spreading, to reduce the emphasis on a single proxy IP.
