Comment:

 I run two v3 onion services that fulfill the criteria and could give us
 relevant statistics for our questions. commenting here so I get the
 updates on this ticket, I would be thrilled to use a tool like this to
 monitor their health and report back here.

 I have no other way to know about their health, all I can do is check the
 Tor daemon for relevant messages in the log file or try connecting to them
 myself. But this "solution" is obviously orders of magnitude less reliable
 and exact than a tool that will check the health against all HSDirs and
 try introduction to all IPs.
