You could edit /usr/local/hestia/nginx/conf/nginx.conf and add this to the server block:

                if ($host ~* "^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$") {
                        return 444;   
                }

In context:

                ssl_certificate     /usr/local/hestia/ssl/certificate.crt;
                ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/hestia/ssl/certificate.key;
        
                # TLS 1.3 0-RTT anti-replay
                if ($anti_replay = 307) { return 307 https://$host:$server_port$request_uri; }
                if ($anti_replay = 425) { return 425; }
        
                if ($host ~* "^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$") {
                        return 444;   
                }
        
                location / {
                        expires off;  
                        index index.php;
                }

To apply the new conf:

systemctl restart hestia

Note: This conf could be overwritten on Hestia updates.
