Well continuous attempts definitely bogged down my desktop pretty bad. Also, getting OOM on a 64gb machine multiple times a day is quiet annoying.

And one simple mistake, and we're screwed

Yeah that sounds quite annoying, but has nothing to do with ssh log noise. Maybe investigate what's causing the OOM. I have multiple 1GB vps with ssh open to the world and they never OOM, and they're obviously not just running ssh. It sounds like you've been compromised.
