There is a chat room where instance admins share details of spam accounts, and it’s about the best we have for Lemmy at the moment (it works quite well, really, because everyone can be instantly notified but also make their own decisions about who to ban or if something is spam or allowed on their instance - because it’s pretty common that things are not black and white).

Yeah I think I'm more on the side of this, now. The chat is a decent, and workable solution. It's definitely a lot more hands-on/manual, but I think it's a solid middle ground solution, for the time being.
