I haven’t used revanced in a while, but Fennic + ubo + sponsor block should get you to basically the same place unless they’ve added new features since I used it last.
No separate app required.
Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration

So… Will the ADB let me do this? reVanced specially, YouTube is completely unwatchable otherwise.

All APKs will require a signed developer certificate.
I doubt they will be signing keys for developers who circumvent Google’s services, or that violate their ToS.
They’re copying this scheme from Apple in Europe, when it was forced to allow other app stores.
In that case, Apple revoked certificates for apps it didn’t like, such as P2P/torrents. Mind you, these were NOT apps that were not hosted on Apple’s App Store.
But ADB bypasses it.
(for now, at least)
That’s what it sounds like.
Shizuku + Obtainium might still be an option.
I wouldn’t count on it. I’m 100% expecting them to follow up on this in another updates, blocking devices from wirelessly debugging themselves for “security” reasons.
All APKs will need a valid Google developer signature.
Doesn’t matter if it’s installed from GitHub or F-Droid, no signature, no installation.
Shizuku is installing via adb

I suspect this is designed to block revanced entirely. It won’t be able to install the apk it compiles or downloads, so apps won’t be able to update even if you have it installed via adb to begin with.
