*Contains spoilers* Proposals are an issue, as I suspect Allied thinking would go with tried and tested stuff. The 234 would have production issues for sure, where as the B17/B24 platform is widely available and capable of being produced in numbers. My thoughts are now on need, as the Red Air Force is totally crippled.
