Is this ok?
Looks good to me. I would probably check for ct state new in first
place, given that this only matches the first packet a new TCP
connections. It will save you the tcp dport set lookup.

Note that you can even limit this per port, ie.

         ct state new tcp dport {22222,40022,42222} counter \
                 flow table bruteforce { ip saddr . tcp dport limit rate 3/minute } \
                         counter accept comment "limit bruteforce"

using the 'ip saddr . tcp dport' concatenation. But I guess you want
globally ban anyone spamming you to those ports anyway.

I wanted to ban spamming ips altogether, but I've since learned that this is
the job of 'fail2ban'
fail2ban is nice to have to simplify this administrative hassle, but I
think it is still using iptables (it's been a while a I didn't look at
that code), we can do much better now with nft to resolve this problem.

By that do you mean "counter ct state new" instead of "counter flow table" ?

Thing is with this method, it only limits, I wonder if nft can blacklist the ip for 1 day or even 1 week with the option of manually removing blacklisted ips manually.
