Blocking in my Plesk firewall seems to be the best option...
Together with the 8G firewall in htaccess and Blackhole.

I might've mentioned this before. One of my sites had a problem with spam. I used the extension "stop forum spam" for a quick solution without delving into htaccess. It works pretty well. Eventually I'd like to implement something like your solution.
Do you have multiple domains running under one hosting account? I do, and my host company tells me there's no way to separate the domains as far as server logs go. (When I view the traffic logs it's for all 10 of my sites together.) I asked them about separating out the domains into their own VPNs and the co said I'd have to do that through a different company.
I've been using the same host for 15 years at least but their services keep getting worse and worse. I seriously need a new hosting company even though it'll be a headache to migrate everything.

Yes, I have multiple domains and logs for each domain.
I believe you get what you pay for. So you need to think about how much you want to pay.
