I am not sure what web server you are using but I have seen mod spamhaus which is a module for apache which using DNSBL's to block bot nets etc.

BlockandNuke looks pretty good, except that I don't like the idea of deleting stuff completely from the database. Therefore, I might create a fork of that or of BlockBatchhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BlockBatchto revert rather than nuke changes. I've started a page to brainstorm antivandalism development ideas: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Countervandalism_development

BlockAndNuke will likely be very useful to you. I don't think a fresh MediaWiki installation would be ideal, since it would allow for spambots

rejoin and spam using the same usernames and IP addresses as you have already blocked. It would just create more work.
One solution I can tell you from experience is very useful when dealing with spambots is AbuseFilter. I work as an administrator on a couple projects on a rather large wiki farm ( http://www.brickimedia.org ) and after implementing abusefilters to disallow or warn users when they trip
a
filter, I haven't seen an actual spambot account in several months. If
you
would like to use some of the abusefilters I've made (or adapted), I'd be perfectly willing to send you two of the most useful ones I have.
