It's feasible, particularly with how reliant we currently are on DNS. If we no longer needed traditional DNS to connect to relays, that would help make Nostr much harder to take down. However, DNS has the advantage of human-readable addressing for relays. If someone asks, "Which relay should I use?" I can tell them "Nostr.wine is a good paid relay," thanks to using DNS. If we went to an onion routing system or something similar, it would be more like, "buhqfhqa7t351qjkfdba863245hqkk44978afbfaakjgwe.onion is a good one to try out."
In the end, though, I think they won't bother with trying to go after relays unless they are a haven for something the government can readily paint as undeserving of free-speech protections. This is why I think relay implementations need to have robust moderation tools so operators can clean out any CSAM.
