I'm in no danger of ssh ever being brute'd, but having logs fill up with piles of attempts is annoying and some hosts can be very persistent.
In my case, I also use it to prevent other abuse: bans for ssh abuse protect other hosted services, and fail2ban has been modified to act on other forms of abuse too (like spam).
