While I know you have vastly more knowledge and experience than me and often my observations or worries are doe to me mis-understanding something but about the comment above, I have experienced issues running a non-exit relay pretty soon after it going up and though I have no idea if there is a connection, I started to get more trouble after the doubling of connections at the end of July.
I was blocked from a number of websites,
Had many of my emails returned because of a flagged IP(the one listed was not my ip)
Ended up on a several blacklists within a week of starting my relay, SORBS being the most eager to BL you it seems.
a few other small but new issues/quirks that I don't know enough about to attribute to anything Tor other than the timing.

I too am running a non-exit relay. I am now blacklisted from several e-commerce websites. My wife shares the modem in our house and she is having issues too. This is getting to be a significant problem for us.
