Yes, it's definitely slower than using clearnet. Just like Tor, I2P use multiple hops/nodes to perform communication. https://geti2p.net/en/about/performance explain about it in detail.

I have a general opinion that I2P isn't very actively used in many applications, am I wrong? Not just bitcoin, but generally.

Yeah. At least, i'm sure it's less popular than Tor since I2P can't access clearnet.

But if you search ".i2p" on the search column, it shows 0 node (which should be incorrect).

I think this can be manipulated, because there are multiple occasions where I 've known about .onion nodes that weren't visible in the bitnodes website. I don't know how it's possible, but I 've seen it happening.

In this case, i wonder whether those node somehow manage to identify and ban connection bitnodes.

That's why people say that the total number of nodes is actually higher than the one visible on the website.

That's right, although usually it's stated when mentioning nodes that doesn't or unable to accept incoming connection.
