You can force everything into tor if you want, but if you then send every piece of identifying information that exists about you, then it doesn't really help. While you might not do that, all the identifying or otherwise privacy problematic behavior of random apps is still a thing. That's why Tor Browser is highly recommended, it's more than just a browser with tor, it tries to do something about fingerprinting, disables stuff like WebRTC that could leak your IP address, etc.

Also last I checked Tor doesn't handle UDP packets, which is a problem when you try and force all traffic through it.
