I think that it's okay to downgrade to 1.1.1 for Tor's purposes: the
two security vulnerabilities fixed in 1.1.1a are about DSA and ECDSA,
which Tor doesn't use.  Also, you could use 1.1.0j if you prefer
something patched.

It will be usable by anybody connecting to it with TLS up to 1.2, and
by clients using TLS 1.3.  Connections between your relay and other
relays will fail if you are both upgraded to TLS 1.3.
