There is a difference if you want to make yourself look like everyone by design or if you use Tor, if you use Tor your real identity can not be traced back to you so there is no point in making yourself look like everyone else. But then again this is only for individuals that have high-threat models.
Torproject themself does not recommend changeing settings since it makes you stand out. It is much worse if you are self hosting searx and using it in tor since searx is then linked to you since you are selfhosting it.

This comment is worded very optimistic. There are plenty of ways to leak your identity using tor. Or any other tech for that matter.
Yeah so there is no reason to make it worse. Torproject themself does not recommend changeing the search engine, It will make you stand out.
