Wouldn't work on peer-to-peer and you'd have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.

Most games already do this lol Cheats usually don't do anything that is technically impossible to do on a vanilla client, just highly improbable

True, can't think of how would you combat a cleverly written aim-bot.

Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.

I've rarely, if ever, had a bad time using a server browser.

A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking

How will you handle competitive matchmaking? I agree for casual matchmaking though

Maybe moderm in relative termy but notnreally. One of the articles I could find on the quick is from 4 years ago: https://www.ign.com/articles/cod-warzone-cheaters-are-being-matched-up-together-as-punishment

That does not detect things like wall hack and aim-bots that don't modify the game state directly.

Don't tell the client what's going on outside its vision, I suppose? Add a small buffer to compensate for latency, so wall hack would be more of a "corner hack".
