My take on this: if there is some DDoS taking place from same IP I am connecting from, that sucks for me but I'm willing to tolerate it (good old fail2ban). But having such a firewall all the time, even when you are getting less than 1 request per second from ToR? That's an overkill

If I occasionally get a DDoS from Tor, I'll probably just block Tor all the time, even if my current traffic loads from Tor are low. It's simply not worth the hassle of waiting until my servers start getting spammed, it's better to just keep the door shut all the time.
