I'm neither a fail2ban nor a SELinux expert, but it seems the
standard fail2ban SELinux policy as provided by CentOS 7 is not
sufficient anymore and the recent updates did not correctly
update the required SELinux policies.
I could report this as bug, but where does such a bugreport belong to
in the first place?

We're a bit stalled at the moment I'm afradi
Finally had some time to look into this. Happy to say fail2ban now
appears to be working.
1. I found that reading the CentOS web site about SElinux was helpful
and this led me to issue the following:
semanage permissive -a fail2ban_t
this places just fail2ban requests (got the context from the scontext
part of the SElinux error message) into permissive mode rather than the
entire OS.
2. Then a look into the SElinux troubleshooter gave me the errors that
were occurring and following the suggested instructions I created a
my-f2bfsshd.pp & my-f2bfsshd.te
3. restarted fail2ban via systemctl restart fail2ban.service
4. monitored via fail2ban-client status <filter_name> and now get
Status for the jail: sshd
|- Filter
| |- Currently failed: 0
| |- Total failed: 109
| `- Journal matches: _SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service + _COMM=sshd

|- Total banned: 6
`- Banned IP list: 27.78.14.83 116.105.216.179 139.99.71.227
5. set fail2ban back into enforcing with
semanage permissive -d fail2ban_t
All solved for me.
I have now done this on a second machine and it too seems to be
functioning again.
