I would like to add and advocate that, whatever a network protocol upgrade will be done, Tor should starts supporting NAT traversal for it's relay, enabling users to contribute also without a "public ip address" .
Enabling NATted users to become Tor Relay would increase the baseline of contributors.
Protocols for NAT Traversal are used since +10 years in VoIP network stacks successfully:

In Rome, I held a session about network protocol upgrades. My intent was to cover the switch to two guards, conflux, datagram transports, and QUIC. We ended up touching only briefly on everything but QUIC, but we went into enough depth on QUIC itself that it was a worthwhile and very productive session.
