What about Tor? Are Tor exit nodes IPs clean?

This was tried in the past.
Users abused the IPs immediately by using them for commiting financial crimes and for sharing some highly illegal stuff like CSAM.
Of course, the authorities ended up arresting the original owners of the IPs rather than the criminals who "rented" and abused them.
A very bad idea for the renters.
I got into very serious trouble with the law enforcement at one point when I unwittingly did something similar.
