None of your examples are valid, IMO.
Procuring and operating the infrastructure to mitigate this kind of attack costs many many thousands of dollars or requires becoming part of the Cloudflare/AWS/Google hive.
Joe Schmo can set up a TOTP server, run keepass/bitwarden and use letsencrypt for free (or another SSL provider for cheap).
The lament from parent is that running a simple blog reliably shouldn't require being inside Cloudflare's castle walls or building your own castle.

My personal observation is that simple websites should continue operating HTTP1!
