Even if you believe the NSA have some practical attacks against Tor, are you not still better off using Tor than not using it?

Well, anything special you do that covers your tracks may make you look suspicious. If Tor becomes more ubiquitous, maybe it won't draw suspicion anymore.

Right. Reporting corruption over Tor makes you look suspicious, but they probably don't know what you're doing. Reporting corruption without using Tor means they know exactly what you're doing and will catch you.

What happened to my brain? I just bought the idea that the surveillance state is overall more effective in suppressing criminality.

It's simple. Hand over the monopoly on information to your surveillance state and you don't get to know when it still doesn't work.

If thinking the govt is broken is treason, you can't fix it any more, but not because it's perfect.
