/etc/tor/torrc is not used as the defaults torrc file. It's the torrc file
for tor at default.service, and /etc/tor/defaults-torrc (?) is its defaults file.

/etc/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc-instances is the template file for
each instance's defaults torrc file. You can use it to name instances
and set common torrc options.

Using /etc/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc-instances is easier, unless
you use something even more automated:
