Last I heard Tor split all data up into 512 byte chunks. So the statistical distribution of packet sizes could still give you away.

In general, Tor does not hide the fact that you are using Tor.

I think the end solution is not to have TOR replicate normal randomish usage, but to have normal usage from everything go through a tor like process so that everyone looks the same.
That would require active participation of major entities who distribute HTTP clients, such as Mozilla, Apple, or the Chromium team. I cannot imagine them participating.
