I would never run a full node from my home internet connect (especially after DDoS attacks on XT and classic nodes), and would not recommend that others do this either.
I would not generalize this. It comes down to how the ISP sets up their connections, what hardware you have and whether you know how to mitigate/prevent at least some DDoS.

It also ensures that I dont ban IPs for a long time when its not needed or if its a false positive. This prevents that my node helps separating amazon nodes in general from the network.
Correct. This is why I've chosen a 1 month trial period for only the IP's that were misbehaving. I do wonder though, what the person things that they could accomplish with this. They surely don't think that they'd able to completely separate Amazon from the network with such a small attack?

in my case my nodes are old, one of it is two years maybe more i dont remember, old and all of them has the same dos attack.
Mine is only ~2 months old.
