The biggest threat for tokens being stolen/misused is still XSS, and DPoP does nothing to protect against that. It also doesn't protect against many other ways that tokens leak in browsers - e.g. if a token leaks in your browser history then the threat is that the attacker is physically using your device, in which case they also have access to your DPoP keys. In the cases like the Facebook breach, where highly automated mass compromise was achieved, I think we're lacking evidence that PoP would help there either.

I think that would certainly be a great start.
