Banned from jobs that are customer service related forever? No.

This is harder when we shift this to talking about comedians. For a comedian to have a job, people have to want to go to see them specifically. If I go to a show, and have a notably bad experience, I'm probably not going to go see that person / group / whatever again, and if I see videos and read news articles about someone else's bad experience, that's also probably enough to make me not want to see them, too.

So, maybe celebrities that get cancelled should have to find a new industry to work in, if what they did is bad enough. At the very least, they need to change their image to the point that they're appealing to a different audience, if their old audience is no longer interested in seeing their show.
