You can much more than 8-10 peers over tor and i2p, I have 18 right now. But I could also use ipv4 and ipv6 over tor to connect to clearnet nodes without opening port 8333. Or am I missing something?

If you are NOT "listening" on port 8333 (or can be any other you want) for inbound connections, your node will randomly kick out peers from those max 8-10 connections.
That doesn't mean your node is not working properly. No, is OK to not open the port 8333, only that your node is not a full public node, but just a personal node.

you say max 8-10 connections, why I have 18 connections right now?

how many of those 18 are really active, downloading from you? Just because are connected it doesn't mean that you are really seeding to them.
