There are many alternative instances, that's the great thing about projects like invidious.

For your own projects, I would recommend relying on multiple instances anyway because if one has downtime you could just use another one.

Yes except the whole invidious project is rapidly being abandoned according to discussion on GitHub. The next breaking change in YouTube could break invidious forever if the project is unmaintained.

I just need to remember not to be lazy and to continue maintaining my fork of youtubedown. The only obstacle for me is I really don't use YouTube frequently so mostly it's a matter of remembering to do the necessary maintenance.
