Running a tor node is pretty stupid from a liability perspective, but at least you have more deniability and you are making an informed choice.

These residential proxies are pretty much universally shady. I doubt most of the users understand what they are consenting to.

That's totally something you should consider, even if you decide for running the tor node anyway in the end.
