I guess the most obvious and perfectly legitimate thing to use exit nodes for is anonymous communication on the net. I don't understand how using hidden services would take off any load though. If a hidden service does the job of an exit node you might as well consider it as one. After all it's request IP address will be visible to the public in which case the risk for the operator stays the same (unless requests are routed through the Tor network again, in which case it would only add latency).
