As an at-Home, Middle-Relay operator, I experienced similar issues. Initially,
I attempted to solve the problem by using dnsmasq + nginx to reverse proxy the
blacklisted sites through a dedicated vpn, which worked... with some issues.
As the issues increased, I decided to secure a new IP Address and pivot to an
at-Home, Bridge operator, which has been trouble free and much more amenable to
at-Home operation.
Thanks for running a Tor Relay... or Bridge.

instead of turning down your relay, you could change it to a cloud hoster.
I e.g. would suggest the German provider Hetzner [*] - you have
20TB/month free traffic for only a few euros. Since the IP address of
your relay is publicly known anyway, it also doesn't matter as much as
with a bridge if the relay is running at a cloud provider (e.g.
regarding the situation in Turkmenistan). The disadvantage is, of
course, less diversity in the number of networks in which the relays are
distributed.
Kind regards
