Thanks to everyone who responded. I am now going the suggested way.

However, it occurs to me that this is something postfix could be
trivially doing itself, e.g.

   smtpd_helo_restrictions =
     […]
     reject_my_hostname
reject_my_ipaddress

Where, exactly ?
The real client IP ? That can't be trivially spoofed, and so would actually BE your server. As for EHLO, IP literals aren't accepted as a matter of course - not in this day and age.

Personally, I reject all EHLO it it's not FQDN, not a valid hostname, or corresponds with my own identity. That pretty much accomplishes what you're talking about, without the need for additional options.
