Artificially pumping the chain with controlled malicious nodes is one of the weaknesses I thought of years ago. While the data would be encrypted if they don't own the end to end, they could eventually point what IP's you were visiting and when.

Creating lots of new entry/exit nodes is the only solution. But with that comes a tremendous amount of headache as law enforcement comes knocking on your door for breaking some law. Only Universities and other such public agencies have the resources to guard against this.

If you are stupid enough to natively run a microsoft Operating System while doing so, you are further subject to being completely owned.
