And most clients just send a DNS name and a set of IP version flags.

For the rare cases where literal addresses are used, or there are

IPv6-only websites over DNS, tor could be smarter.

Not as rare as vanilla websurfing oriented people think.
There are lots of tech implementors, pen test companies,
diagnostics, p2p application developers, torrenters, etc... who
use nothing but literal IPv4/6 numeric addresses over tor all day long.
This is why it *sucks* that MAPADDRESS hasn't yet been
enhanced to support even the simplest of /CIDR mapping semantics.
*.fqdn DNS is hardly half the picture. See...

You're right, we don't know the number of literal vs DNS connections.

I added it to the ticket:
