Bitcoin Core – Is BIP324 v2transport redundant in tor+i2p connections?

Recently testing BIP324 On my node, since Bitcoin Core v26 v2transport=1 In ~ bitcoin.conf I have confirmed that I am receiving some incoming connections to my node using the v2 transport protocol. This connection can only be reached by incoming connections using Tor and I2P with my onion/I2P address, and if I create an outgoing peer connection using Success. It works without any problem.

but, Considering that both of these networks are encrypted by design., is it redundant to use this additional layer of security for these networks? So shouldn’t that be the case? Only available for ipv4/ipv6 What are the connections to avoid unnecessary duplication?
