sshd configuration is outdated
Users with very recent OpenSSH clients (e.g. Gentoo) will now see this rather unsettling message:
$ ssh flatcar
Warning: Permanently added '[127.0.0.1]:2222' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
** WARNING: connection is not using a post-quantum key exchange algorithm.
** This session may be vulnerable to "store now, decrypt later" attacks.

I think we should nip this in the bud before more users start panicking. Our current configuration sets absolute lists. I'm assuming we don't just use the defaults to continue supporting weaker clients. In that case, we should append to the defaults with + instead.
