End-to-end encryption doesn't protect you from this, since any recipient can report illegal material to the authorities and trigger an investigation of the sender.

There can be TOR-like systems that with an ideal implementation make it impossible to obtain any metadata about the sender.
Agreed, ideally you have both, e2ee and no linked phone number.
