#2I've seen blocks like that for e.g. alibaba cloud. It's sad indeed, but it can be really difficult to handle aggressive scrapers.

#3One starts to wonder, at what point might it be actually feasible to do it the other way around, by whitelisting IP ranges. I could see this happening as a community effort, similar to adblocker list curation etc.

I admin a few local business sites.. I whitelist all the countries isps and the strangeness in the logs and attack counts have gone down.
Google indexes in country, as does a few other search engines..
Would recommend.

Came here to say something similar. The sheer amount of IP addresses one has to block to keep malware and bots at bay is becoming unmanageable.

Is there a public curated list of "good ips" to whitelist ?

Unfortunately, well-behaved bots often have more stable IPs, while bad actors are happy to use residential proxies. If you ban a residential proxy IP you're likely to impact real users while the bad actor simply switches. Personally I don't think IP level network information will ever be effective without combining with other factors.
