That's a worrying strategy because there are many reasons for using a catchall. Example: one email per site to track companies selling personal data, then maybe bounce that single email address.

Do you know any site blocking domains with a catchall?

Yeah, if you have a domain of your own the sensible thing is a catchall, use a different address everywhere and block the ones that spam.
