There's a neat little thing some discords I've seen use, where they honeypot spam bots into a channel-- if someone posts into it, their messages in the last 5 minutes get deleted and their account gets kicked.
Is there a meaningful way to make it so a website shares a resource that automatically updates their blacklist to block the IP address? Knowing that you will lose X but hopefully you'll retain everyone who can read?

Most scrapers use residential IPs nowadays. They will just rotate their IP and go on, while the IP you banned would get assigned to an innocent user that won’t be able to access your site now.
