I'd say that's stretching a point.  But since I don't think I can
suggest an existing category into which it fits: the nearest functions
to it are in core!

Something like modules/traffic/ would kind-of describe it, but as of
now it would seem lonely there.  I wonder if there's a case for
modules/misc/ ?

modules/limiters/ or something? That would cover a lot of things like concurrent requests-per-ip/mimetype, ratelimiting and so on but still isn't auth/access control...

This *is* access control, you are denying access, based on something other
than user and password.  mod_authn_hostname anyone?  This fits neatly into
the same general category.
