I only have the two smallest onion beds covered with leaves. The main onion bed and the two rows in the garden are growing without leaves.

What made me think about trying the leaves and cooler ground is I've noticed over the past couple years - the onions companion planted under the tomato plants always get more leaves than those in the onion beds. The onions also smell and taste stronger. I figured, "Why not try it?"

Through internet research - I didn't find squat supporting my findings. I will know how some of them taste before too long because they're growing where I'm going to plant all those Tomatillos.

Oh, and tomatillos grow very FAST in solo cups.

Yes they do because the soil is heating up.

As for looking and finding your results sometimes it just isn't out there because people have just kept following instructions.
This is why we have to experiment to see things for our selves.
My onions are growing in just about every environment I can think of.
One of them being sandy loam and pea gravel.
