But, I want to become a part of the larger usenet again (and to be
able to post from my own server), so I'm looking at setting up
peering at some point. When I look at eternal-september.org, as an
example, it requires that I run cleanfeed. But it seems cleanfeed was
last updated in 2020.

 Is that a problem?
IIRC many sites tell they use it.

No, it doesn't have to be a problem. I mean, it was just one "pkg install" away and it seems to be running now. I'm mostly wondering where those who are using it get their configs from? The example bad_* files that ship with it are, well, just that: examples. There isn't all that much in it.
Do people create their own bad_* files based on abuse seen in the wild and shared via the news.admin groups? Or do people share those files among each other?

Depending on the user base, it is important to restrict posting, so no
mass-postings can be done and other stuff like nameshifting or
crossposts can be regulated.

Agreed. I'm not too worried about my userbase though, we're a small and tight community, we all know each other well enough to trust that we don't abuse the network.
