The nft is too complicated. UFW works great and is so easy.

People said that about iptables too, but once you understood how it
worked, you could block all
of a given outfits possible bot addresses with one /8 or /16, in one
case a /24. If that denies
one of their legit customers too, I usually told them to fuss at their
isp as it was not respecting
my robots.txt. Now we've a new name in bots we'll have to train. Look at
your access logs, it'll
stick out like a sore thumb.
But now I need to create another robots.txt. The worst part of that is
the stubborn ones will scan
for subdirs that don't have a robots.txt and will bypass the www/root so
you need a robots.txt in
every dir. That ability I blame on apache2.
