I don't see how any Tor-based control could help against such a
threat...

Tor relies on a distributed concensus to be reached/published/available
to work; If you prevent such concensus from being reached/published
(DDoSing the directory authorities being the obvious route) for long
enough, no one will be able to use the network anymore (the concensus
expires to protect against what you call "Indefinite freeze attacks").
