Creating ZIM files for Kiwix by myself?
r/kiwix would be the place to ask, but at the end of the day it all comes down to heading out to openzim.org (or the corresponding github repo) and figuring it out. You can either grab zimit and run it locally, or access all the libraries that will help you build your own scraper (Nautilus will assemble documents and videos into a single file library, MWoffliner will do for wikis, youtube will do YouTube, etc.).

Youtube Channel Disappearing Soon
Have you considered asking the Kiwix guys? They have a tool to download full channels and playlists, and it's free/open-source. If you're not technical enough to run it by yourself you could ask them to run the tool for you - if it is copyrighted material they won't be able to add it to their library, but maybe if you pitch in to their donation page (they're a non-profit) they'll be willing to forward a private copy/download link.

iFixit, the encyclopedia of fixing stuff, is now fully available offline!
The scraper is up and running and scheduled to deliver updates on a quarterly basis. A few categories may be still missing, but that will be fixed over time (if you do see something funny, you are encouraged to report it on the github repo).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing youtube and ifixit you can also consider the following projects:
nautilus - Turns a collection of documents into a browsable ZIM file
base-image - Kiwix-BSF Hotspot Base Image
yt-videos-list - Create and **automatically** update a list of all videos on a YouTube channel (in txt/csv/md form) via YouTube bot with end-to-end web scraping - no API tokens required. Multi-threaded support for YouTube videos list updates.
sotoki - StackExchange websites to ZIM scraper
libzim - Reference implementation of the ZIM specification
anki-zim-reader - Anki add-on to view and extract info from ZIM files
