using tor to download it should work pretty well, yes.

  Just using tor doesn't necessarily fix it. If you're still getting the update directly from Google then there is still the possibility that they can fingerprint your device -- this is one of the hard problems with using tor and one of the reasons you have to be so careful when using it for anything important. Also, if large companies start using tor for software updates it's liable to fall over from the load. The advantage of using P2P (meaning something in the nature of BitTorrent) is that you can't limit the scope of the update. If you upload it to the target, the target will give it to everybody else.
