FOOD FOR THOUGHT Fail2Ban Future with IncrediblePBX 2021?

After installing the Debian IncrediblePBX 2021, I noticed that there is only an sshd fail2ban jail set up. Granted, my old (ancient) system is not a standard bearer for anything, but it had jails configured for apache, ssh, asterisk and vsftpd. Not sure if those jails can or should be replicated, so I thought I'd see why they weren't there any longer. Never assume that something changed without a good reason.

I see the rules are there, just not enabled. It's only a test setup {at this point} so I turned them on. Let the fun ensue.

Fail2Ban is a processor-intensive app given its limited usefulness with Incredible PBX's Travelin' Man 3 firewall. We're still deciding on the appropriate path moving forward. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
