 tor-spec.txt says that the ed25519 link authentication key isn't used:
 {{{
    These are Ed25519 keys:

     - A long-term "master identity" key.  This key never
       changes; it is used only to sign the "signing" key below.  It may be
       kept offline.
     - A medium-term "signing" key.  This key is signed by the master
 identity
       key, and must be kept online.  A new one should be generated
       periodically.
     - A short-term "link authentication" key.  Not yet used.
 }}}
