It’s been enough to just seed behind a VPN at this scale? I’d like to do something similar one day at smaller scale but I’m a bit fearful.
In my youth I used to operate my own and admin on other ROM sites. The smart move then was Asian server hosts who would take anonymous payments with no personal info attached to the accounts. But we were still worried of Nintendo, keeping safe was a bit scary.
But they never went after us. It was easier for them to just go after people hosting in the USA under their real names.
But that’s centralized, different ballpark from p2p. I used to use mullvad for torrents until they removed port forwarding.

I think that question really hinges on “what vpn provider you choose to use”. Honestly… People don’t hit me as hard as I wish they would.
~72 TB uploaded the past 30 days.
From earlier. ~64TB of that is on my VPN’d hosts. I know it’s a bottleneck by it’s very nature… the highest I’ve seen all 4 peak at the same time was just over 3gbps aggregate…
The VPN I use is a no log vpn… and I choose an exit point that’s outside of my country. So at the very least would require coordination between 2 countries, and a provider that has nothing to give up…
At that point it’s all about the trackers that you’re a part of.
