One advantage I can think of right off hand would be domain blocks can be bypassed with an onion URL.
In the context of tor, a domain block would apply - for example - if the exit node's ISP blocks the domain. But if the local network implements domain blocks, this would not affect the tor browser - is this correct? Or is it also possible to block domains locally even for tor browser users?
An onion domain does not use the clear net whatsoever. So the tor client machine contacts your machine directly (with 6 hops) from within the network and never exits out to the open internet.
