Tor is already banned in multiple countries IIRC, so yeah, it definitely can get banned by governments. That doesn't mean the people can't use it anymore though, you just need to masquerade the traffic with tools like Tor's Snowflake software:
https://snowflake.torproject.org/ or something similar. I guess it could even be your own anon VPS with a WireGuard connection.
To me, offering to connect to my nostr relay over Tor is more about the privacy benefits it gives in general. All traffic goes through multiple relays before it reaches my nostr relay so I have no way of figuring out where this person or connection comes from.
