Is there any security concerns with hosting a tor relay on a homelab? Like would you be significantly more likely to get hacked? I don’t plan on running an exit relay, but what would the risks/downsides of hosting a middle/starting point relay.

Your IP will be added to the list of public relays, which some organizations will blacklist all of. Your IP may also become more of a target in general if you decide to host more than a relay publicly. Your ISP may also not like it, some ISPs disallow hosting on residential plans and may decide to enforce it when there's significant traffic.
