Again, also very situational.
For example, at the site where I worked we needed much stricter protection but we didn't want to bother the established users of the site...so we setup trust scores and implemented stricter controls on a sliding scale. The higher your trust score, the less strict we would be with our policies.
As a brand new user, your score was a flat 0. You could boost it by verifying a credit card, phone number and address (without using a VPN/Tor). Successful transactions rewarded your score. Transactions with established users are more valuable than transactions with other new users, etc.
All the security was virtually invisible to the established users and it worked like a charm.
Regarding the fingerprinting, at the time that we were doing this anti-fingerprinting technology barely existed. We had some other tricks in the bag too to fingerprint based on behavior. It was a lot of fun working on that stuff though. Very much a cat and mouse game.
