Banning new Steam IDs on banned IPs seems too strict to me. Some ISP use CG-NAT or rotate IPs, meaning a single bad actor could harm many innocent players.

Yeah that sounded like a very bad idea. It was already a bad idea years ago when there were enough IPv4 addresses, because still people were using NAT behind routers. So, it could happen that you just ban a whole family or people that are living together in the same flat, although only one of them cheated. But now, with this whole carrier grade NATting, it seems like not only a bad, but a dysfunctional idea.
