That might be true. However, outgoing connections through tor can be
painfully slow. On the other hand, connections to hidden services are
usually not as bad as they don't require exit nodes (which are always
the main limited resource with tor).

So while it may not necessarily enable new uses of the keyserver, IMHO
it certainly improves existing ones.
