It will never get recommended. It's bad for the network and bad for your privacy.

Yes. It is better to use i2p for bittorrent. Now qbittorrent it is compatible.

Would you say this is better than using a VPN or just as good?

Better, because it is free and secure. And at same time you are torrenting, you are helping the network. But a downside, it is the speed and amount of peers you find is less compared to the clearnet. Also it is not the best option to surf the clearnet, tor is better at this.

Always will be because of the way the two technologies work at a fundamental level.

It's never been recommended and it never was a good idea.

You could probably rent a seedbox or more generic service like an aws ecs instance and then download from the seedbox or s3 via tor.
