I don’t know anything about this beyond what’s written in the post, but it sounds like if a podcast episode on YouTube has been properly sporsorblocked, then it should skip ad reads as well (keep in mind that sponsorblock is crowd-sourced, it doesn’t automatically work it’s magic)

Does this get rid of ad-reads as well or is it just the ads served by YouTube?

Sponsorblock will strip out ad-reads.

Keep in mind that if it fetches an episode immediately after it’s posted, nobody will have had a chance to make Sponsorblock entries, hence my advice to have it re-fetch after a couple days. By then, someone should have made contributions that you can take advantage of.
Also, be sure you have the correct Sponsorblock content types selected in your “Podcast” Media Profile. You might have to play around with the options in there to make it produce exactly what you want from it.
