this is not correct; think of SocksPort as a way for clients to use
the Tor program to access the Tor network; like TransPort and DNSPort.
this does not affect reachability of the hidden services you are
serving with your Tor instance.

seems so.  the reason i mention PKI is a defense in depth
configuration where Tor access to hidden services are in a domain
distinct from services where key material for authentication and
privacy are used.  Tor == network layer, TLS == application layer,
each in their own restricted runtime.

to each their threat models...
