My point to all of this is, is that DoS's won't ever stop, nor will they take down a server, and this plugin, although good, won't stop it. Lag exploits/exploits in general can, and will, however.
The listdeaths exploit did in fact crash the server.

Lag exploits are denying service, so they're DoS attacks.

Sure, you can write a DoS script in SourcePawn. Good luck uploading that to a server you want to attack though.

This plugin exists to log IP addresses. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't think it's useful, don't use it.
