I have already replaced it with the qos module. However, I can answer
your questions:

That one showed "evasive" as output. It was one of the first steps to
confirm that the module was loaded.

I did with the exact same values from multiple servers and from
localhost. There was no reaction, no block, no log entry. I debugged
this for over an hour without getting evasive to work.

The server in question only provides some static sites. Thus, nothing
fancy here.

May I asked if you have tested under Trixie or Sid?
