Comment (by starlight):

 perhaps it would be best to not rely on scanning client instances for
 descriptor information and either a) run a low-limit relay with DirCache=1
 along with Fetch* settings expressly for providing descriptors or b)
 connect directly to authorities or fallback directories when obtaining
 descriptors
