They could just not track users? I seem to remember coding a lot of websites that totally failed to track users.

Your websites have no logging at all? Remember, even an IP address is PII under GDPR.
You don't need to ask if the information you collect is necessary for your site to work.

Shysters/pettifoggers are very "flexible" (in a negative way) in the interpretation what is "necessary for your site to work". :-(
You don't have to log IPs. And if you need them for rate limits / abuse prevention, that falls under the "necessary / legitimate interest" rule.
