auth.log on my home server is full of ssh brute force attempts from all over the place. Password auth is already off. Is fail2ban worth it at that point or is it just log noise?

If password auth is off they aren't getting in. I moved sshd to a high port mostly so the logs are readable again.

Run it anyway, it costs nothing. And put AllowUsers in sshd_config so only your account can log in at all.
