As you mentioned, TLS doesn’t solve this problem entirely since the ISP can still see what domains you visit.
For those use cases, people should really be using Tor instead. In that case, if the website is public, HTTPS doesn’t really serve a purpose since the exit node isn’t going to get any private information.
Perhaps HTTPS does help if the sensitive information is hidden in a wide-ranging domain (e.g. Reddit, Twitter) and because support for it is so widespread. In those cases, HTTPS is likely already supported.
However, if the politically sensitive but public information is on a small domain, such as a personal blog or informational topical site, HTTPS serves almost no purpose there since it’s obvious what your activities are from the domain. In that case, one should definitely rely on Tor.
