This is true and already reality, no need for hypotheticals. There are exit nodes serving child porn right now, yet, the operators are not prosecuted.

The child porn traffickers and other problematic users are all on Tor already. With the growing number of users their proportion will only decline.

My only assumption that would need citation (that I cannot give, I admit) is that currently the proportion of shady users is much higher on Tor than on the general Internet. From here, it's pure and simple logic: as more users transition to Tor (asymptotically all of them), this proportion can only decrease.

1. there's no clear indication whether the Tor userbase grows. Indeed, I would suspect the constant mobile is a hindrance 2. There's no clear indication in which direction the online CP people grow. They can be more or less over time. I am unaware of any studies because it's obviously extremely hard to measure.
