Higher latency, in and of itself, does not provide any resistance to
traffic analysis.

Higher global jitter might help, but circuit orientation at
guards and exits through to the clients seems to nullify that.

For which an idea may to become packet switching, which
is really no longer Tor.

Link padding seems the next real step but I've not put enough
reading to it, only have idea to read about. Nor do I yet review about
Tor padding proposal as sufficient or not, sorry.

As it is not the Tor original model design maybe some other
network will take this analysis / padding issue up before then.
I've no idea.
