The problem I am finding is that explicit versions I have added to my playlist are replaced with clean versions. Not always, but sometimes.

unless something has changed fundamentally, im not sure how this is possible. like i posted last night, i noticed it on the song Teenage Dirtbag, it was edited, i never really spent time to fix it as i always heard it driving and forgot to fix it.
this was the version i had saved as it came up first - open.spotify.com/track/3LI4MmibTkXH5cGpCGZgyw - and you can see it’s from dawson’s creek, obviously edited.
updated it to this one - open.spotify.com/track/25FTMokYEbEWHEdss5JLZS - and it’s the unedited version right from their album.

It seems that the way that YTM maintains playlist is by keeping a track list and populating it on the fly with the first hit it gets. If the metadata doesn’t include a special mention of “explicit” or “clean”, you end up with a crapshoot on which version you’ll get.
For me it even went beyond that. I had uploaded my personal collection to Play Music. When they migrated to YouTube Music they replaced my tracks with tracks from their catalog, including edited versions.
