I thought IPFS is rather poorly suited for piracy since the nodes' addresses are public. There is no onion routing or other protection.

I2P is neither “for” nor “not for” piracy. I2P is for protecting communications and data from any kind of censorship.
Filtering copyright violating content is a type of censorship. To some it is justified. To others it is not.
To a network protocol like I2P the point is that no kind of censorship should be possible. Regardless of reason.
I saw the writing on the wall when my ISP was forced to block TPB and KAT.
A seedbox is a temporary protection. In the long term it is still a very real possibility that the customers of seedbox companies can get in trouble for their acts of piracy.
Several VPN companies who claimed to keep no logs, were actually keeping logs. https://www.pcmag.com/news/7-vpn-services-found-recording-us...
So too it will turn out that some seedbox companies will have been keeping records about their customers and their activities. For those customers, it will not be a happy day.
It may be a stupid law, it may be an unjust law, but it's still a law and people with guns who enforce the stupid laws might show up some day.
Only individuals can decide whether or not the risk is worth it.
Unfortunately, you need to anonymize your traffic (via a VPN service, which costs a fee) if you don't want to be harassed.
