@tfb on my personal VPSes I use non-standard port and have it written in my ssh config, so I just type ssh hostname and it works, but I didn't thought about best ssh practices for years. Curious, what is a good way to deal with it nowadays.

Same here.
In addition I use fail2ban/only allow login via ssh-key and disabled root login.
There is nearly no traffic on this port.
Checking the failed login attempts on port 22 (needs to be the ssh-port for this afaik) is quite interesting and gives a nice overview for used usernames, which then can be avoided.
