Connecting to a centralized DNS provider over tor defeats the purpose of tor and makes it easy to deanonymize your traffic completely.

Does it? If you use regular DNS, how would it identify your requests? (as it cannot rely on the IP address)

For DoH, I guess there are more pitfalls to avoid (http cookies, connection reuse, tls session cookies, etc), but those are all things you can avoid if you configure your client correctly. I don't see how using a centralised provider would automatically compromise your privacy.

(It's playing with fire though, I admit that)
