Sorry, I don't actually see in there why randomizing something like a canvas or webaudio fingerprint is a bad idea. I believe they know what they're talking about, but I'd still like to know why.
Notably, to me this isn't necessarily about beating the resistFingerprints setting, because I can't use that setting. For good or for ill, it breaks too much of the web.
But that's referring to privacy.resistFingerprinting (RFP), not adding randomness. RFP isn't really an option, at least for me, because it breaks too many sites.

having a randomized fingerprint is a fingerprint value in and of itself. That may leak more entropy bits if you have a fairly common hardware configuration
Also, regarding webaudio fingerprinting, afaik it's not a real threat.
