I've been using Mullvad for awhile now and torrenting works fine.
I did notice a behaviour that LibTorrent 1.2.x works better than 2.x and some endpoints don't play nice.
If you're willing to give it another spin try Netherlands.
They don't explicitly ban torrenting, but they banned port forwarding in 2023 which heavily limits who you can connect to.
Ah I see what you mean.
It relies on the other side to have an open NAT or support UDP hole punching.
In my experience this works fairly well with μTP enabled.
