Couldn't they run a regular relay node instead? This would help them blend in their traffic so to speak while also not having to put themselves at risk of being cut off.

 Well, they need uplinks, right? I doubt that diplomatic immunity forces
 ISPs to serve them. Private routing is possible, of course, but is
 probably too expensive for most.
 
 Whatever their budgetary considerations,
embassies and consulates afford
 diplomatic safe spaces for Tor nodes.

At best, they provide a *legal* safe space, but it would only take an
embassy having their local internet access terminated once or twice
before they'd re-consider, absent any agreements which block service
providers from doing such. I'd be surprise if such exist, although, it's
certainly possible.

Assuming we're talking exit nodes, anyway.
