I'm using https://freetubeapp.io/ and so far it mostly works. You have to stay on top of updates, and age-restricted videos can be a problem, but the feature I love most is that it can subscribe to creators without an account, and it just shows you time-sorted feed. It also has native sponsorblock baked in, and has support for downloading videos, or using an invidious as a proxy.
You can turn off autoplay, comments, recommended videos and other engagement-maxing bullshit, so it's just a video player without distractions that I can use to follow stuff I'm directly interested in, that doesn't force content on me.
