Surprisingly it's fine on Tor.
The firewall I manage at work blocks tor exit nodes and app traffic at the application layer.
The list of tor exit ips is publicly viewable. Some IPS block the entire list contrary to Tor Project's request not to do exactly that.
Cloudflare can do it at least
Tor probably can’t carry enough traffic to concern them
