Should we also ban them to prevent connecting to them again?

IMO no, as this can change for them with just a restart. In the end we aren't fundamentally incompatible. I think we also saw this issue in the past at times when it seemed like things weren't being broadcast, it may have been the case that we were connected to a node running in blocks only mode.

Can't the same be said about filter support?

Any reason to not return a Reject message with the reason?

By just disconnecting without banning, don't we risk going into a connection loop? How likely are we to attempt connecting to this peer again?

Seems likely to happen if the address manager continues to return it as part of newAddressFunc, which is very aggressive at the moment.
