not needed as tor is already encrypted.

and iirc ssl certificates leak server information.

If you don't trust Tor encryption you can layer typical HTTPS on top of it. You can also use it for verifying that a mirror belongs to an organization. The issue is you need to get a TLS certificate from one of the two places that support onion TLS certificates. Either DigiCert with a very expensive EV certificate or HARICA with a DV certificate. It says on the wiki for Tor that in the future Tor may trust self-signed certificates somehow.
