It's one added layer of protection. Combine Tor with a VPN. If your life is on the line with your content the more layers of protection the better.
Why not tor over tor then?
Adding a VPN is another system that obfuscates and is not controlled by the same entity.

How could you accomplish this without some sort of registration?
Zookos triangle is hard to solve but arguably has been by projects like namecoin and similar ETH-sphere projects geti2p.net also has community registrars for .i2p domains and includes a built in hosts file of many of the sites, this involves a level of trust in the registries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooko%27s_triangle

The way it was already accomplished previously: short addresses, which, although not easy, are possible to remember. 16 characters is doable, especially if it starts with 5-8 letters of word(s). 56 characters is not realistic.

In regards to your second question, yes, there is I2P. https://geti2p.net It's better than Tor in a few ways, in particular how it handles DDOS attacks. I2P is also more focused on facilitating hidden services (eepsites) than being a clearnet proxy. There's also Yggdrasil, although it doesn't seem particularly concerned about anonymity. https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/
For i2p, is there something like tails? Like a hardened read-only OS built to avoid the usual client opsec failures?

Although it's not nearly as minimalistic as Tails.

Thanks for sharing I’ve never heard of zookos triangle before. I’ve never looked into the crypto token solutions but presumably there’s still an issue of competing projects maintaining their own registries that would allow for domain collisions depending on which solution you use. Are there any in particular you’re fond of?
Namecoin had issues with cyber squatting and spam, i would assume any alternatives significantly used would suffer a similar fate.
