I don't personally know anything about i2p but my spidey senses suggest that until it becomes about as widely-used as Tor, it's not going to have as good an anonymisation factor as Tor.

I mean, if only 100 people use I2P, and some traffic has gone over I2P, you can quite easily narrow it down to the set of 100 people.

I'd be delighted to be proved wrong.

Also problematic is that from my understanding i2p is not used by any honest actors, since it doesn't have clearnet access. Tor is used by lots of people for honest things or at least less-than-completely-shady things like getting around IP blocks or geo-fencing whereas i2p is used exclusively for people that require perfect privacy for their communications.
