I'm unsure whether I should apply a "Family key" to my bridges.

I just spoke with Mike about this topic. For now, our advice is for operators to split their families into two: one family for their bridges and one family for their non-bridge relays (guard, middle, and exit nodes). We plan to relax the restrictions we currently apply to our path selection algorithms. This topic is described in proposal #354[1], and we are actively seeking funding to fix it in Arti and our bridge distribution services.
