yeah maybe just design proper authoritative servers instead?
anticheats are kinda a band-aid solution.

Or maybe bring back self hosted servers so you can roll your own

slef hosted servers don't solve cheating on their own either.
proper authoritive server shouldn't send or accept any information that isn't strictly necessary, like positions of players that are in a completely different part of the map
