For a few years, I've been using the Redirector add-on [1] to redirect Yotube URLs to various Invidious instances. No ads, and easy to tailor the visual experience to your needs.

Here's my Redirector rule:

  Youtube
  Redirect: https://www.youtube.com/*
  to: https://invidious.protokolla.fi/$1
  Hint: Youtube > Invidious instance redirection
  Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hipBryeDc0E → https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=hipBryeDc0E
  Applies to: Main window (address bar)

As a parenting control trick, I also use Redirector to direct some of the more immersive gaming sites to about:blank for our 10yo son. Definitely proud of that hack, ha.

The issue is that Invidious only supports 720p

Not true, please consult the documentation: https://docs.invidious.io/faq/#table-of-contents

All the public instances I recently visited did not support >720. I remember having to specifically select it and it was not really working currently some time back I think.

What's preventing them from going higher? Also I think Invidious sorely needs UX updates to help make it easier to avoid having to go to Youtube.

Hmm I installed invidious yesterday and was able to watch 1080p. Maybe you need to update to the latest.
