If I visit facebook.com it's about 45 requests and 2.5MB of data. Are you saying that if I did that via Tor I would get a different circuit for each request or each individual packet?

Eventually the guard has to send the whole payload to me, right? Wouldn't that look similar every time if there's no obfuscation?

you mean inferring the website based on packet traffic pattern if you are the guard? yeah maybe possible, not sure how distinct each website footprint would be in practice

seems like it would also be challenging to hold up in actual legal proceedings

Yeah, basically, but I was thinking that if you're analyzing a pattern going to the client, all you'd need is any point between the guard and the client (ie: an ISP).
