Tor model breaks down when facing a modest government adversary for the simple reason that having only 7000 relays total, with a minority of them carrying most of the traffic, invites cheap infiltration and takeover by state adversaries.
Yeah, that's a problem :(
That’s a theorical problem. Currently, most of the major guard operators are well known people and no doubt they’re not engaged with three-letter agencies.

Good. That's what I had assumed. So a major infiltration would be hard to hide. Those "well known people" would need to be covert operatives. And deploying covert operatives long-term is nontrivial.
