F-Droid will be blocked by the Great Firewall as soon as it becomes a popular way of circumventing censorship. On top of that, there is a real possibility that most Android phones sold in China are backdoored by the government in some way.

F-Droid allows many ways to update without using its main server - from alternative servers to transfer via NFC/wifi. Perhaps traffic shaping can detect typical F-Droid traffic, but a simple IP block won't do.

I'm not sure if Orbot supports Meek-Azure bridges, but if it does then you can force F-Droid to use Tor for all it's traffic.
