But that's the paradox. Who said an uncensorable IPFS will not become completely overloaded by corporate and government propaganda? How is it harder for them than individuals to create any narrative that suits their agenda? IPFS is not a panacea to powerful overlords.

Uncensorable by governments doesn't imply unmoderated by anyone whatsoever. You can have someone ejecting trolls and propaganda but not censoring legitimate speech, as long as it's someone you trust. And, importantly, not everyone has to trust the same party -- if they start censoring something you think they shouldn't then, unlike censorship by government or corporate monopolists, you can go and get it somewhere else.
