I’ve been using invidious for a few years. I recently changed up my morning routine and have been eating breakfast watching YouTube via the TV app versus on my PC.

It made me realize I kind of miss the recommended videos in some circumstances like when I just wanna veg out.

Are there any current viable yt front ends that either maintain the algorithm or utilize their own to find you new content?

Doesn't answer your question directly, but nostr is working on this. Nostr is an open protocol like ActivityPub (which underlies Mastodon and Lemmy). Its main use is as a twitter clone right now, but it also has a very new reddit clone and can theoretically support videos as well. And you can choose your own algorithm. Here's all the choices I get from one of their clients, and there's dozens of nostr clients to choose from. The cool thing is that anybody can make and publish an algorithm and you can subscribe to any algorithm. Your client does all the sorting locally.
