A lawyer who works on Paraguayan citizenship responded to an email inquiry of mine saying that you must reside in Paraguay for 183+ days of each year in order to pursue citizenship. I don’t think this information is definitive, but it suggests another reason why that program many not be attractive.
UPDATE: Many sources confirm that the main difference between the programs is that Panama’s provides a path to citizenship without ever staying very long in-country, while Paraguay’s is maintainable as a permanent residency with only short occasional visits, but to gain Paraguayan citizenship you must spend the majority of 3 years in-country. One source for this (though I’ve looked at many): https://nomadcapitalist.com/second-passport/paraguay/

FWIW, a lawyer I’m speaking to about these options says that Paraguay’s program is expected to change in the near future as well (Panama’s is ending); they sit on the Paraguayan committee that’s working on amending the law.
