Actually a relay will be awesome way to mask a hidden service, if TOR encryption holds.

No, it is an extremely bad idea to do that:

And something a little more "official" from https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html.en -

"It is generally a better idea to host hidden services on a Tor client rather than a Tor relay, since relay uptime and other properties are publicly visible."
