This depends on what you mean by "properly" and "impossible" and "professional" and "forward".

Many professional name-brand corporations use Tor daily.

The only ports opened are those you configure to have onion services. Port limiting is one of the major features of firewalls.

You don't get to control source IP ranges, but those aren't generally trustworthy on the open internet anyway.

Also, the traffic isn't "forwarded" -- hidden services shouldn't be run on a relay, actually, so you're not forwarding anybody's traffic but your own.

Also, barring the recent attacks on discovery of onion services, connecting to a tor onion service allows you stronger security guarantees and MitM defense than TCP+DNS+IP routes.
