There is no real threat in my opinion, unless you use weak passwords. And
a little hardening might take away the paranoia: Allow only specific
users. Then no one gets in even if he guesses the right account name
(like "pi" as discussed earlier) and password. Unless you have an account
id "pi" and a weak password.

Or use host-keys. No one gets in, unless s/he has the right key.

The traffic will persist, so what. It's like you wish to sush people on
the streets from chatting, because you don't like the noise. Won't
happen. Just ignore it.
