Meta Threads have other issues on top of potential EEE measures and concerns about data harvesting. Meta’s moderation is a shit show on Facebook, Instagram, and so far on Threads, so federating with them will result on letting a large number of trolls into the Fediverse, that are encouraged to do their trolling for higher place in the algorithm. In addition to that, Meta can dictate policies to you, like no NSFW content, and for corporations that can mean almost anything.
If Tumblr doesn’t go too extreme in any of these directions, I can accept federation with them. My main gripe with interacting with corporations is that they likely want to dictate the rules of the Fediverse.

So I can tell you Tumblr’s policies are a copy of Instagram. It is even more conservative than gram. It doesn’t want any nudity or porn or even bikini pictures. Sees a nip through a shirt, gets shadow banned. They outright ban users for it. But their bots can’t handle porn bots. So average casual user/blogger will banned while porn bots proliferate.
Depends on.

So their moderation too is a clown show…
