You need to protect it from yourself.
If you know the salt then you can trivially brute-force it yourself and now you are not GDPR-compliant.
If you don't know the salt then you'll have to use a new salt for each IP and then all hashed IPs will be unique and you have no way of correlating them so it is all completely worthless.
