I use this via Home Assistant add on to skip ads on my apple tvs. Not as good as smarttube on nvidia shield, but best you can do on tvOS.

You can self-host Invidious and connect to it with yattee. (The UI is… not the best, but it’s generally functional, and better than ads.)

There's also an app called Clipious on F-Droid that can connect to an Invidious instance.

I don't use it much since I started using the ReVanced patched YouTube app, but it used to work well enough for casual usage.

Interesting could you share how to do this?

https://github.com/dmunozv04/iSponsorBlockTV should get you started. In HA, it will available in the Settings > Add-ons / Add-on store. If you don't have home assistant, you can always run it on an rpi or in docker on a system on your network.
