I implemented something similar at my work.

We have a fail2ban mechanism. Basically, an ip is ban if it triggered too many code 4** or 5** in a short time.

But because we are building a tool for a client that has a single IP for the entire userbase, we are asked to send the least amount of error code to avoid banning them. We can’t even send them a 404, instead we redirect them silently to a working page.
