Ah, you're still misunderstanding my point: You can get atomicity in the
worst-case where the communications medium fails *and* stealth payments
that use up no extra space in the blockchain. This gives you the best of
both worlds.
I haven't yet specified that mode of operation in the current draft
stealth address standard, however I do plan on adding it. Notably the
standard is designed to allow exactly that feature to be added in a
backwards compatible way - senders who don't implement that feature, or
choose not to use it, simply fall back to op-return.
