So far I'm still using Vanced (works sometimes) and New Pipe (works all the time) and both do not display any ads at all.
Why not move to revanced?
Long time back I wanted to migrate but at that point I found the installation procedure overly complex and time consuming. Not sure if I misunderstood something or if it has changed since then.
It's not as easy as vanced, but there's some decent guides out there. Basically download the latest YouTube APK, run it through re-vanced, pick some options to block ads, then install the patched APK.
I hate to link back to Reddit, but here's the guide

If you have an iPhone, just switch to Android.
