If you use bisq a lot with the same bank and receive / send a lot of payments, then you are a honeypot for the bank and sooner or later they will look at your activity, and probably link it to your trading peers.  Centralization will always be a problem in any p2p protocol.

In the scam @Jul3k describes, while it would be true that tricking the buyer to include the trade-id into the payment reason makes the scam a bit harder, I don't think it would be that difficult.

IMO, having no payment reason is less suspicious as there are a lot of payments with no reason.  Moreover, the anonimity set is much larger because a blank reason is fungible. The set of specific payment reasons is not fungible.
