But since anyone can submit an abuse complaint, maybe server providers should actually check the abuse reports before triggering the "respond in 2 days or we suspend your server" or similar measure of their ToS.

I've had my main server thrown offline by a bogus abuse report claiming that they received an over 1Gbps DoS attack from my IP even though my server only has a 400 Mbps cap. Had a human actually read the report, they would've seen it was impossible and wouldn't have had to spend 2 days arguing with phone support on my holiday.
