you can have both, you just might need to use something like qubes to encapsulate the traffic easily; Or use the socks5 proxies to do your own multihop proxying
It's down to your threat model: If someone is analyzing your local traffic the DAITA is valuable. If you want to obscure your geographical region then multi-hop is good.
Would adding tor on top of AIDATA (or AIDATA on top of tor) provide anything useful?

Sure. It obscures the last connection from you to the VPN, so even if someone did a traffic monitoring attack to the VPN it wouldnt be trivial to map it all the way back to the user.
Of course this means your vpn operator knows you used Tor, but in my mind that's probably better then the isp knowing
