Some comments on this idea:

* It's not possible to prevent Google from logging the access to the Tor
Hidden Service and to provide those access logs following an authorized
request from a governmental agencies, thus possibly exposing

* It's not possible to configure the SSL/TLS Ciphers of Google App
Engine, so the connection could not have Perfect Forward Secrecy

* Google App Engine does not let you have an always-on process server
side, enforcing a maximum execution time (last time i checked, some
years ago, it was 30 seconds) . Tor connection process keep some time in
order download the descriptors, connect. So it may create some
additional load over Tor network by the need to connect and disconnect
to the Tor network and does some Guard/Directory traffic.

So i'd consider to be careful in which kind of "use case" are defined
for such kind of project, especially when compared to Tor2web
