Ever since I rebuilt my websites on this AliExpress Celeron server I have apparently been under the false impression that I had blocked password access on SSHd. Nope! Remember kids, adding certificate-based authentication...

PubkeyAuthentication yes

...doesn't do much until you also disable password authentication:

PasswordAuthentication no

Now I have to go digging through my logs to see what's been happening. 😢
