This relay is hosted on a 300 mbps Verizon FiOS (FTTH/GPON) connection. My server is a HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 (quad-core AMD X3421 variant) running FreeBSD, and my router is a Linksys WRT1900AC running OpenWrt.

Do you have both 300 Mbit download AND upload speed? Did you verify that you actually get that (e.g. on speedtest.net)? GPON typically has much lower speeds in the upload direction. Your Tor bandwidth will be lower of the two.
