Those who wish to suppress Signal would just play whack-a-mole. They'd login to Signal, find what domains it was connecting to and then block those. To update Signal with new addresses constantly, you'd need a server hosting those updates- which would in turn be blocked immediately.

The idea of using Souq.com or Google.com as the domain name in the TLS header was that even oppressive regimes won't block Google or Souq for their entire country.

Which, at least in the case of Russia, seems to be false.
