I do understand that some operators are particularly concerned about how much % they operate, but this can be lowered if too high for example by setting RelayBandwidthRate, option which is ready and working and doesn't add extra complications and side effects.
If the concern is seeing the traffic of too many clients, then use MaxAdvertisedBandwidth. That way, fewer clients will choose the relay in their paths, but the ones that do get the entire bandwidth of the relay. (And lower latency.)
If the concern is seeing too much Tor network data, then use RelayBandwidthRate.
(This is also an area that needs more research: is it the volume of network data that's bad, or the number of clients. I suspect it's the number of clients.)
