Yes, sybil attacks are a concern. With a powerful global adversary like the NSA, I don't know what chance we stand but unless there has been some evidence of exits being run by the NSA, I think we are good?

It's not like it's terribly risky for them; they can stick some exit nodes on some racks in a couple of data centers, with splitters that records all of the traffic coming out, and no one would be the wiser. Or they can just find existing exit nodes, and ask the data centers to install splitters for them. Exit nodes and relay nodes are not secret, so specifically targetting them for analysis would be pretty easy.
