Postscreen: yes! Fail2ban: That's a divisive subject.

In my experience, Fail2ban can screw people over, causing a significant
waste of time for users and admins. I don't think F2B is worth that.
Strong passwords do a lot more good than IP-based blocking, and the more
IPv6 use increases, the less useful F2B becomes anyway.

I advise against Fail2ban, unless you are very conscious of how it might
bite your and your users' bum.
