I found out about another layer of protection against bots, scanners, bruteforcers and other miscreants. It involves using csf firewall in combination with ipset, a companion for setting up rules and quick block thousands of bad actors' IPs without degrading performance.
Based on checking daily updated blacklists (like Spamhaus, Feodo..) https://docs.danami.com/juggernaut/user-...lock-lists
The admin must have full control of a dedicated server, or a cloud instance with KVM virtualization. On OpenVZ unfortunately does not work.
Anyone interested can ask me, it's really easier than it seems. I managed to reduce bad traffic and fake signings from 5 a day to 1 every 5 days!
