Not sure what "bad actors hitting a page" even means. I host public info so people can see it, be it good or "bad" people. Let them see it.
DDoS is different and can be devastating of course. Also, very rare. In decades hosting content (started my first hosting business in 1994) I've never experienced anything remotely like a DDos. I know it happens, but definitely very rare for most people. Driving tons of legitimate users away with relentless captcha annoyances for the once in a liftime possibility of a DDoS is not a good tradeoff.
If you're in a business that attracts DDoS like flies then deal with that, otherwise lay off the captchas.
