I see no need for any action on your part, let alone for meddling with
Tor traffic, to appease Hetzner. For more than a year (and counting) I
have responded to each of these "abuse" reports by stating in the
feedback form that this is routine Tor traffic, not abuse. This was
accepted by Hetzner every time.

Note that I set up a small local workflow which verifies that the
reported IP adresses really match known Tor nodes. After all, I want to
be certain that no actual abuse happens. Also, Hetzner is not trying to
be obnoxious, they only aim to protect their reputation.
