I don't care about location anonymity because my website is clearnet public anyway and I want my website to handle many Tor users, just setup a bridge Tor instance on localhost (127.0.0.1) not published to the bridge authority, point the second Tor instance to use bridge 127.0.0.1:port and single hop hidden services.
I don't understand why you have an extra bridge relay here. Can't you just use HiddenServicePort 80 ?
Sorry - my bad, I thought of OnionBalance in general setups first (and that the bottleneck becomes the guard that also handles other clients) and mixed up in my mind different setup scenarios.
HiddenServiceSingleHopMode 1 ensures that the hidden service server connects to the introduction points and rendezvous points directly, without going through a Guard, so there's no bottleneck here, case in which there's no need for an extra bridge relay.
