I’d be curious to see a more complete data chain (including all human actors) threat analysis (or sketch). Franklin’s advice “Three can keep a secret, if two are dead” is perhaps true at this level (directed state-level actors trying hard to stop you). I’d think that the larger risk is counterparty compromise, which applies to any transmission mechanism.
Post-compromise (when they know about and are looking to catch/capture you), then dead drops are much riskier, as you have to physically be there.
