Yes

the only solution I found was enabling invidious-sig-helper, which is currently only available in unstable.

By that I mean "The only thing I tried and it worked".

My VPS is running 24.05, I tested this patch via an equivalent to:

nixos-rebuild switch \
  --flake .#my-vps \
  --target-host my-vps \
  --override-input nixpkgs github:lelgenio/nixpkgs/backport-invidious-sig-helper
