We know of at least one Tor hidden service which was deanonymized because it leaked an IP address at some point. This protects against that flaw being likely to happen again. That is what the use case of this is. Of course it's not enough on its own. It protects against a specific attack in an easy-to-setup way.

Otherwise, you'll be just as screwed because your service will be ridiculously slow. This wouldn't be able to handle anything more than a consumer grade internet connection at relatively low speeds. "By our fourth round of prototypes we had created a model with 64mb memory and a 580mhz CPU. This not only runs the software well, it flies! At last happy with the board, we designed a simple, minimalist case in plain white to house it. The end result is our current model. We decided to name it the anonabox." Running CPU intensive processes (e.g. encryption) on a high throughput connection (e.g. web server) isn't going to work unless its only used by you and your 5 friends.
