I'd read "Surveillance Valley: The Rise of the Military-Digital Complex", by Yasha Levine, for a discussion of why Tor/Onion has relatively little value for private communications, unless it's used in a highly specific manner - and even then, one end of the communication is inevitably going to be known to metadata trackers at the very least. It's also highly probable that most or all Tor nodes on the Internet are backdoored by one intelligence agency or another at this point, meaning they can reconstruct the hops pretty easily.
