I think there are plenty of channels that aren't just using "cheap stock photos and/or blender animations", and I can list some examples if you'd like. The first criterion is harder, though, because sci-com by its very nature isn't going to be original research, so channels in this category tend to be more creative or opinion-based (i.e. multi-hour video essays).

That said, if I'm trying to really get at the gist of what you're saying, I think you're looking for shows that have a lot of original work and high production value?

Some random examples I can think of (I'm sure there's plenty more):

  • 3 Blue 1 Brown
  • Captain Disillusion
  • Gamers Nexus (specifically their investigations)
  • Smarter Every Day
  • Every Frame a Painting (inactive but with a huge catalogue)
  • PBS Eons
  • Technology Connections
  • Montemayor
  • Taylor Lorenz
  • Climate Town
  • Tantacrul

(this is excluding so many great video essayists and artists since the original comment seems not to be referring to those)
