Sounds like trouble for Newpipe, Sponsorblock, etc...

Does NewPipe use the YouTube API, or is it a scraper? Also, how will this fix Vanced, that's using the actual YouTube app?

There are also browser extensions that just play the ads, muted, at like 100× speed. It might as well just be a tiny buffering hiccup at that speed.

I guess we'll need to see, but I'm not too worried.

It's a scraper. And, in theory, it shouldn't even cause any issues with ReVanced modified Youtube patches except if they need to be updated.

Yeah, every few 18 months you'll probably have to get the latest api and re-revance it. But unless they lock up their api somehow, revanced should be good.
