Actually, this is reasonable, I do the same on my submission server.
The XBL and SBL are not the PBL.  While vast swaths of dynamic consumer
IP space are PBL listed, they are rarely XBL or SBL listed.

I can see the point when running your own server for your own use.

But for a service provider, it seems a bit extreme to block customers who have the bad luck of sharing an IP (either by dynamic assignment or CGNAT) with someone infected by spam-sending malware. Because these customers have no actionable way to prevent the IP they're currently connecting from to be listed again.

I would assume a service provider as big as Gandi has more efficient way of filtering out log noise and preventing brute force attack that outright blocking their own customers.

I've instructed my customer to reboot their router, so they've been assigned another IP address for now, and problem solved... until next time they get handed an address that's been polluted by someone else...

And I did double check that my customer isn't the one infected with the spam-sending malware. And as precaution, their router has always been configured to block outgoing connections to port 25.
