Letting the entire video buffer is the same as downloading the entire video which you can still do. My favourite tool is yt-dlp
You can also setup a script to automatically download a channels latest vid so you don’t need to check the website anymore.
fun fact: according to sponsorblock, youtube is testing ads that are baked serverside into the video. so one day even downloading might not be ad free
For now you can use vpns to certain countries that don't have ads at all, I expect that will still work to avoid server side ads.
