There's actually a lot more room between #1 and #2 than you'd believe, and human review is expensive, especially in F2P games like Fortnite. The cost of a mistaken ban is also high.
It used to be a meme that any decent CS player got banned once a day for hacking by clueless admins, and that was with review (CS had great replay tools for server admins) by players who cared enough to host their own servers. That was also in the days where if you got banned, you moved to another server, no biggie.
In the F2P shooter world, there are often several hundred dollars of spend on cheaters accounts, because the people who crave instant gratification of cheating are generally also the whales. That creates a perverse incentive on both sides - Ban then and you've taken their money for "nothing", don't ban them and get more money from them.
