No forwarders indeed. Additionally, I recommend the following settings
in the unbound.conf of Tor exits:

  # Disable logging.
  log-queries: no
  log-replies: no

  # Sent minimum amount of information to upstream servers to enhance
  # privacy. Only sent minimum required labels of the QNAME and set
  # QTYPE to NS when possible.
  qname-minimisation: yes

  # If yes, Unbound doesn't insert authority/additional sections
  # into response messages when those sections are not required.
  minimal-responses: yes

Logging might be disabled as a default depending on how your Unbound was
built, but I like to make certain.
