This is already impossible, as both circuit and concurrent connection DoS both gets detected and the IP in question flagged and blacklisted.
No. DoS has been a topic of conversation at nearly all relay meetings for over 2 years. Enkidu and Toralf have developed Tor-ddos IPtables rules for the community. Article10 specifically for Tor exits and trinity has developed the patch.
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40676 Roger, Mike, Nick and Perry certainly wouldn't have let Trinity develop the feature if the current DoS mitigations in Tor had helped.
Please see the manual on this:

This is a client to relay detection only. "auto" means use the consensus parameter. (Default: auto) It _is_ defined in the consensus: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#consensusparams
Example: 500K connections from IP 1.2.3.4
These are numbers from reality and not fantasy. AFAIK, Article10 and relayon already had 1,000,000 connections per IP!
