Nothing is more honorable than victory
Sometimes, less is more.
I would recommend trimming all your custom configuration from your router/firewall, one change at a time, until you can no longer reproduce the issue.
Or go the other way around: set up a barebones configuration, confirm the issue is resolved, and begin adding one customization at a time until it breaks.
How do your bufferbloat tests look?

It sounds like you have a lot of stateful inspection configured. YouTube's heavy usage of QUIC (i.e. UDP transport) may not play well with your config.
And, incidentally, what does your hardware look like?
Frankly, even the most barebones router should be able to handle YouTube. I am running pfSense in an ESXi VM, with passthru Intel gigabit NICs, 2 GB reserved RAM, and 2 vCPU (shared, but with higher priority than other VMs) on a Dell desktop with a second-gen i7 that was shipped from the factory in 2012.
Yes, I am routing on decade-old hardware. And I have never seen anything like what you are describing.
YouTube should "just work."
I am going to assume that if you're running OpenWRT, then you are probably using a typical consumer router? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Have you by any chance tried backing up your OpenWRT config and going back to stock firmware?
I know, I know, OpenWRT is great. I have a consumer router that I flashed with it to use strictly as a wireless AP.
But consumer devices flashed with vanilla OpenWRT tend to have very, very little resources left over to handle fun configurations.
And I have a feeling some of the fun configuration might be contributing to your issues.

I feel that Nintendo hasn't made a good Mario game since.. 3D world on the 3DS/wiiU and before that.. Mario Galexy and then.. since Paper Mario on the original Wii. those games were in my opinion the best of what Mario has to offer as it was originally intended. Fun, colorful cartoony, and exciteing.
...how old were you when those games were released?
We'll just ignore the fact that the other guy in that clip was one of the wormy dudes undercover

Never underestimate how triggering gaslighting can be
Look. I just spent way too long looking unsuccessfully for a clip of Todd the Wraith saying "COLONEL JOHN SHEPPARD!" in that way that only Todd the Wraith can. So let's just pretend that I found a clip and posted the link here.

I have an issue where clicking an image link shows a black screen, but long-pressing correctly displays the image (until I let go, anyway)
As I recall that was one of the problems with Carter's control interface. A proper DHD shouldn't have that issue.
At least that was the case until it happened again in the Pegasus galaxy. But Stargate never was great about canonical continuity.
