Yes, Tor onion sites are indeed an excellent option. And as noted elsewhere, you don't even need a public IP address.

However, using Tor2web proxies is very risky, because proxy operators can see and modify traffic.

Asking as someone only passive interested in it (a friend is a developer), any thoughts about the dat protocol and beaker browser as an alternative or does my understanding of tor and dat require adjustment? Do they address the concern you’ve brought up in a meaningful enough way?

From what I see, there's no IP anonymization. But maybe one can use it via VPNs, Tor, etc.

If it’s something important you might consider signing your content with pgp before posting it.

Would the W3C signed exchange spec work for this?

In my experience, that's harder to do than you might expect. Some years ago, I found some unmaintained software that worked for signing html. But I didn't find anything to verify signed pages. Just an old Firefox extension that no longer works.

Please do share if I've missed useful apps.

Don’t sign the html, sign the content and put it in a <pre> tag.

It doesn’t look nice but it does work.

OK, good idea.
