Would tor show something in its log if I were hitting my router's limit? Seeing nothing there or in my router's gui log interface, but not sure what I should expect to see.

If you don't restrict the capacity that Tor is supposed to use by setting options like "BandwidthRate" etc. in torrc, your relay will simply use all the bandwidth that is availible. So Tor will automatically push your router or your internet connection's capacity to their upper limits. That is, if you have less bandwidth availible than a single relay will even be assigned by the Tor network, of course. There are limits for that as well.
