It's important to mention that that conviction was made in Austria. No one in the US has been prosecuted for running an exit node.

The guy was convicted for literally saying in a public chat room “if you want to host child porn, you can do it on a Tor onion service”, IIRC.
That's very much not them getting convicted for running a Tor exit node.

Assuming you pay for your hosting in whatevercoins and only connect to it over TOR, you aren't at risk, right?

If you bought your coins in a traceable way, I wouldn't bet on that.
Not yet. Good luck trying to prove to law enforcement that it wasn't you downloading child porn. And even if they believe you, the can still arrest you as accessory. See https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140701/18013327753/tor-n...
No. Until judges start seeing Tor node operators as ISPs, this is way too much hassle.
