kavin.rocksalways works for me. I also run my own private instance on a VPS, so far it never got blocked.Bruh, you are either unlucky or your ip itself may be bad and gets blocked by cloudflare wich i think the piped.video and kavin.rocks are using.
I selfhost my instance too at home with a VPN for the api and video proxy and its nearly flawless.
I didnt say that i allways use my instance, i use some of the public ones too with very few being slow due to many people using them. If one doesn't work try another.

The underlying issue is youtube rate limiting the video proxy, so if the instance is trying to play 10 videos at once it will get ratelimited.
The solution to such problem is either complicated or simple. The simple one is try to convince your favorite creators to use other platform then youtube for example peertube, Odysee or rumbl.
