I actually have an /etc/hosts. I was in the wrong directory. :'(
After adding tor to my /etc/hosts,
# override OpenDNS's block of tor.bravesoftware.com 146.112.61.106 tor.bravesoftware.com
host lights up like a Christmas tree:
# host tor.bravesoftware.com tor.bravesoftware.com is an alias for d2dy5tljjyhryf.cloudfront.net. d2dy5tljjyhryf.cloudfront.net has address 13.227.74.94 d2dy5tljjyhryf.cloudfront.net has address 13.227.74.111

I thought that would probably work. The alias bits would be dynamic, and you're better off not having to manage that yourself.
Any censoring server/software would cause serious breakage blocking cloudfront, so much of the WWW is served from it, so I thought they'd leave that half of the equation alone. For smaller hosts, they may block them, thinking that the host would ditch any bad clients to get themselves unblocked. After all, that's been a common approach at reigning in spam sources, over the years.
