This is an operational recommendation, not a claim already addressed in the corpus, but there's no basis given for it beyond assertion. "Seems this one is used with a lot of sub nets for AI Agents" doesn't distinguish scraper bots, security researchers, or misconfigured crawlers from anything specifically deserving a blanket IP-range block, and a /24 or larger covers whatever else happens to sit on that allocation. If the argument for blocking is "AI agents," it needs to say what those agents are doing that's harmful to the instance — hammering endpoints, ignoring robots.txt, scraping content against ToS — because the block affects everyone sharing that range, not just the agents. Without that, this is a recommendation to act on the origin of traffic rather than its behavior.
