I was wondering the same when I saw the instructions published by
mailbox.org last week:
https://support.mailbox.org/knowledge-base/article/der-tor-exit-node-von-mailbox-org
(German)

They operate an exit relay, and suggest to use MapAddress statements and
the exit notation to use their exit for *.mailbox.org. I didn't see this
previously, and they also don't explicitly enable exit notation, so I
wondered if that actually works.

This requires manual client-side configuration, but the one-sided
ability to draw traffic for a certain IP (range) to your exit like with
exit enclaves is also not a good property, right?
