The solution to the Youtube-problem is to use a Youtube-frontend like Invidious [1] in combination with an extension like Privacy Redirect [2] so you don't need to touch the Youtube site at all. The same works for things like Twitter and Reddit (which can be redirected to front-ends offering the same content) or Google Maps, Google Search and Google Translate (which get redirected to alternative services). Some of these alternatives - Invidious for Youtube, Nitter for Twitter, libreddit for Reddit - can (but don't have to) be run on your own server, others use established services. This way you get the benefits of accessing content from adversarial services like Twitter and Youtube without having to interface with them directly on any device you use, not just that phone you happened to install some alternative front end like Newpipe on. You can "subscribe" to Youtube channels without telling Google you did so, you can access those subscriptions from anywhere, etc.
Ditch that Youtube app and while you're at it ditch the rest of those Google apps as well. Freedom is just one click away: Are you sure you want to uninstall this app? [OK].

> Are there actually (current, available, lineage-supported(1)) COTS phones, where you can add your own signing keys, and then re-lock the boot-loader? With mainline/non_ancient Linux kernel?

I have a custom extension that sends my history to a SQL database (I didn't put much effort in making it easy to use for other people so I honestly wouldn't recommend you use it): https://github.com/null-dev/Historian.
What I would recommend is just making both your history and bookmarks browser agnostic. That way you don't have to worry about limits and you can switch browsers whenever you want. I'm sure there are extensions out there that can sync data between different browsers, I remember looking at xBrowserSync a while ago: https://www.xbrowsersync.org/. I don't know how well it works though as I've never used it.
