Could you estimate the number of abuse complaints you receive, or the amount of time you need to spend responding to them - and how many exits for how long, for context? I'd like to operate an exit node[0],
With the experience of running a couple of exit relays, some of them high-bandwidth, all of them running the reduced exit-policy: just a few complaints worth responding to every month for every node.
Most of the complaints are automated and replying doesn't do anything. I have a default answer that I send to non-automated complaints and hardly ever there is a follow-up to that. Rarely I see a request from a LEA, which always get more or less the same answer (a denial + explanation).
In other words, it doesn't take too much time (provided you run your relay with reduced exit policy - or stricter).
