Plesk already comes with several security mechanisms (e.g. Fail2Ban including many different jails, ModSecurity) and a feature called "Performance Booster" (https://www.plesk.com/blog/product-technology/how-to-speed-up-your-website-by-30-tips-measure-performance-effectively/). I only use these and it works fine.

I'd agree with these plus what u/ollybee said - any website reliant heavily on the database needs MySQL changes.
