No. That would be like someone taking GeoCities down in 1998 and claiming you took down 30% of "The Internet. You would have gotten a bunch of stuff, but obviously not 30%

At best they took down 30% of hidden web services with published addresses at aggregator sites like Hidden Wiki.

It's not that you don't know where its hosted, it's that you don't know who is using it or where they are. That includes publishers with hosted content, even from the host itself. 5Eyes couldn't just drop a tap in front of Danial's Host and see anything useful, just intermediate nodes with no idea what was on the other end. (barring a >51% attack where they own the first and last nodes in the circuit.)
