Sounds curiously like the L1 spam problem, in that if you have some filters it stops some spam, but if your channels are all zero-fee, it's kind of like leaving your letter box open to mail or anything that will fit in that hole.
Default channel base-fee to 10 sats, what would that do for probing?

Not much because probing is free except for the time value of the bitcoin locked up to be used during the probe. You may get fewer probes with a high base fee, assuming the probe is designed to find cheap routes. But spammy/privacy revealing kind of probes, the ones that are bad, won't care about your base fee.
