IMHO the real point is that Tor, is not employing the techniques that
used since decades by the COMSEC solutions in the radio-frequency, that
is "frequency hopping".
On the internet we have TCP ports, on the radio-spectrum we have frequency.
Just apply the various, multiple, available, well documented techniques
used to provide additional L1/L2 safety to the radio-frequency
transmission techniques to Tor, et voilà, Tor would acquire important
resiliency properties against massive scanning.
That's just a concept and approach, it would require a bit more of
research, but i'm quite confident that would provide very important
benefit compared to the minor performance issues introduced.
