I'm still able to avoid ads on my main device with a combination of the still-functional uBlock Origin and ScriptSafe.

Same, ublock origin seems to be the way to go.

Before uBlock Origin started working for me again I was using a plugin that instead of blocking ads would somehow play through them instantly. It was undetected by Google for months but of course these faggots found a fix for that today as it suddenly stopped working. There isn't even a reason for them to have circumvented this program, the end user got to "skip" the ad on but Google still got the ad revenue so both parties were satisfied. It's literally sadism.
 
I'm using ublock origin with firefox. I don't see ads on videos, and many videos play fine, but many are also stalling consistently at the 1 minute mark for several seconds and showing the little loading circle. These will also stall several more times as the video plays. I can't seem to find any way to bypass this, and it doesn't seem to be a network issue, persisting behind a VPN and at a different location and ISP entirely, as well as on different systems. Is this something screwy where youtube is delivering ads and forcing them to "play," but ublock is keeping them from appearing?

I think this started about four months ago. All it really did was make me watch fewer videos, a net positive I suppose.

My only clue that this is ad-related is how often it comes up on new videos, and how infrequently on old ones. If I play something from 5 years ago, there is never a problem. If I play something from this past week, it almost always, but not quite always, hangs up.

Try spoofing your user agent to Chrome.

Google hates Firefox despite them being the only thing preventing chrome from being a monopoly online.

With web devs increasingly designing sites for Chrome -- the latest version of Chrome -- it is making internet increasingly non-functional. Along with more "Cloudflare" BS.

It seems like Ublock no longer allows you to clear cache and up[date it and Youtube is finally telling me to turn off adblocker. Any solutions?

I got the same issue and checked out the uBlock Origin subreddit, and this solution helped me:
