phpBB3 already has entry for IP's for the bots but I don't know think they are blocked if there is mismatch between the IP and user agent. Soeone would have to test but I think they just get guest permissions.
It's not enabled here on phpbb.com but Cloudflare will block spoofed user agents with invalid IP's.
I'm not so sure someone spoofing a bots user agent is a big concern. The six gazillion random IP's from bot nets with browser user agents are the concern today.
