this seems like something I would do too, which is why I haven't installed fail2ban

The nice thing about SSH key-based access is, I either have the key and login succeeds, or I have no business trying to log in.

That's why my remote root server bans via fail2ban after a single failed login.

Yes I've had to write support to get a KVM. Yes it's still configured like this.

i am a tailscale enjoyer, which means i can set up tailscale ssh once on each machine and then from another machine just login over tailscale

Eh, the machine is actually in one of my wireguard nets anyways, but for different purposes.
