My concerns are more about the HS harvesting/correlation capabilities
these relays have, than de-anonymisation of users.

I am not a Tor specialist, but would like to know if there are any kind of
safety measures against such persons/entities employing automated big
farms, high speed, stable guards, HSDir, without family set, or proposals
being discussed on the topic.

cheers.
