The problem with this is, you spend a lot of effort for low benefit. You should spend it on actual security instead.

Changing a port and enabling aslr are not "a lot of effort".

What would be "actual security" in this context?

This isn't about security of the same kind as authentication/encryption etc where security by obscurity is a bad idea. This is an effort where obscurity is almost the only idea there is, and where even a marginal increase in difficulty for tampering/inspecting/exploiting is well worth it.
