I know it's just an obscurity measure but step one is surely don't expose SSH on 22? Dropped my (home) attacks/scans to zero from hundreds per day.

You could do that but if you become a target due to unexpected viral growth then it's useless.

It's more "stops you appearing on Shodan" level. But surely if you can reduce the traffic then you are more likely to notice proper attacks.

Shodan is amazing. Creepy too. I used to spend hours trawling video feeds on there. Fascinating.
