> They do not recommend using Tor as a tunnel/proxy

afaik this is because of leakage problems - which can happen silently (eg tor connection goes down, suddenly all your traffic goes through clearnet)

using whonix (https://www.whonix.org/) mitigates this problem

whonix in qubes is also an option https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes

They did write a short doc on it on other possibilities, too [0].

Yep and whonix is one among Tor's recommendations [1].
