I have this old TP-Link smart lightbulb, it’s the only thing that’s IoT and on WiFi in my house.

Looking through pfBlocker logs for fun, and noticed it’s been trying to connect to the Tor network.

Oh! Also, it’s been uploading and downloading 100+ MB of data a day.

    Agreed. To add to this because the traffic is being blocked it keeps retrying so it’s inflating the traffic size. I have about 14 tplink WiFi switches on a vlan and my pfsense rule for NTP is less than 6 megabytes. OP is conflating legitimate NTP traffic with Tor.
