Impossible is lifting a Cadillac over your head with just your body's
muscles. Annoying is Youtube advertisements. Youtube is still
watchable. And, if you hate advertisements, you can just subscribe to
Youtube Premium and not get them.

This throttling of youtube-dl is inconvenient but not life-altering.
You can make a list of videos you want to download, put them all in a
shellscript, and set it off just before you go to bed. The next day
you'll have all the videos.

Here's a tip: Be sure to use the --restrict-filenames option so you
don't get hard to rename filenames.
