How would somebody go around connecting to let's say my home network with a
couple of Tahoe-LAFS nodes and pretending to be storage nodes holding oat
of my data? Wouldn't most Tahoe-LAFS setups whitelist storage nodes, or
otherwise simply not be open for others to connect to?

The I2P version allows anybody to act as a storage node, and get
connections from clients looking for data.
