That is just security through obscurity, and everyone knows that isn't security. All it takes is one dedicated script kiddie to ruin your community server for months.
The real method to deal with hackers is to find one physically and then persuade him kinetically to give up his sources.
In an era of virtualization I'd imagine the solution becomes just spinning up a new server that they haven't found yet and letting your regulars know where to find it.
They just come back. Again, and again, and again. Eventually you have to go to sleep. They don't. And as soon as you are no longer present they ruin games until the server is dead.
If your server community spans several time zones you're gonna have to have admins covering several time zones. It's always been like that. It's not a problem.
Compare that with so called anti-cheats that can't even detect the cheat and publishers/developers not giving a shit so the cheater can just do whatever he wants for months on end.
The best anticheat are dedicated community servers. Guess what doesn't exist in BF6.

Every time you do that you lose a huge number of regulars. It happened to my favorite RS2:V server. It pretty much killed it.
Then the script kiddie would get the boot.
