AFAIK raspbian bullseye has 0.4.5.10, are you sure you are using the latest 
version of raspbian?

The stats folder is being generated automatically, if you don't have it I 
assume 
your bridge is not being used. It might be because bridgedb does reserve some 
bridges and don't distribute them.

The stats are multiple of 8 for privacy purposes, tor collects the information 
of how many users use each relay but rounds them to 8 to don't leak exact 
information. Those stats can be viewed searching for a relay in:

Why do you think is a terrible idea?
