as always: imho. (!)
idk ... i just put a http basic-auth in front of my gitweb instance years ago.
if i really ever want to put git-repositories into the open web again i either push them to some portal - github, gitlab, ... - or start thinking about how to solve this ;))

btw. thanks for the downvote.
its for sure better to kill your own infrastructure because of some AI crawlers - buhuuuu ... bad bots!! - than to solve your problem with a stupid simple but effective solution.
just as an idea: if i had to host public repositories i would think about how to disable costly operations - searches etc. - for anonymous access ... like github did.
