It still offers added security against MAST for anything which does not go 
through a tunnel - and since tunnels are expensive, there likely is stuff which 
should not be routed through a tunnel.

And your argument that tunnels need to be stable supports the need for routing 
the initial steps through core-nodes.

So I would think that yes.

The interesting part of routing high-htl only to core-nodes is that if you want 
to attack the network, you actually need to support it. If the metric includes 
“returns good data to my requests”, this principle could make competing 
surveillance groups cancel out each others efforts as soon as we have tunnels 
(which if I understood them correctly would make it necessary to take over a 
bigger part of the core network to break anonymity).

Best wishes,
Arne
