It's not that simple. Because onion addresses cost close to nothing nothing to obtain it's dubious to just try some on a one time basis without checking to see if they actually have a longer term track record of actually existing. You could end up trying addresses of a one time Sybil attack.
The advantage of using the DNS seed records is those addresses are tested over long time frames, so you have a better chance of them representing real nodes. But my DNS seed doesn't happen to be setup to track nodes using Tor right now.
