Isn't VPS's public IP blocks are well known and very easy to block? I read that this is not a viable solution in case of China's firewall.

Denying the entire country the ability to ssh into ec2 instances would be pretty economically damaging, even for china

Blocking - yes, heavily rate limiting - already happening.
