Brave implements Tor support by default.

Be aware there have been many instances where Brave's implementation of Tor leaks user information that Tor Browser does not.

Notably, keeping javascript enabled during "Tor mode" even if the user has explicitly disabled javascript.

I recommend using Tor browser and using about:config to set javascript.enabled to "false".

neither of those things matter for accessing kiwifarms.

Correct; neither did I mention kiwifarms.
