I run the system headless just for server (fax, mail, etc)
purposes, and I doubt Tor itself gives extra attack surface
to be remotely exploited. Putting into DMZ would be a good
idea, so at least the soft white underbelly of your LAN
doesn't get clawed.

Arguably, some systems considered obscure today
(Alpha, SPARC, PowerPC) add additional work for the
adversary, though no doubt the spooks have enough
exploit/shellcode libraries for such "obsolete" systems.
