I may lack context, but IMO you may simplify your scripts/algorithm:

If a daemon (or fail2ban) identifies an IP to block, it must not have
been in either of the sets (or otherwise the firewall had dropped the
packet already). So they may just unconditionally add to the first set.

Also, you may get away with a single set only:

| table t {
|   set ban {
| 	type ipv4_addr
| 	timeout 2s
|   }
| }

You may add elements like so:

| add element t ban { 1.2.3.4 timeout 5m }

I.e., override the default 2s timeout and set a larger one for
individual elements. This may happen from packet path, as well:

| add rule t input ip saddr @ban update @ban { ip saddr timeout 5m }

Cheers, Phil
