I setup my system to fetch all the possible languages, but this was too
annoying/slow over tor because there are too many, so I stopped doing
it. Because I am only interested in english, it felt to me like it was a
large enough pool of people using that locale that it wasn't uniquely
identifying me.

If you did this, then you would always be fetching the wanted locales
which would eventually stand out, wouldn't it? Perhaps not, if its done
over tor.
