No real tips and tricks. You have to pay for most extensions so things like Sponsorblock or Dark Reader are not free anymore.
My only recommendation is to try the “hide distracting items” feature. Pretty good albeit with some limitations.

Wipr is pretty good as an ad-blocker, one off fee, although not customisable in the way that Chrome ad-blocker extensions are, but good for something you can "set and forget".
Yes it can look daunting! The defaults are fine. It's the best Safari extension I've used to block Youtube ads, and offers a better player. It includes all Apple devices and can sync settings through iCloud.
Vinegar also removes Youtube ads but not always. 🙂
If you like to darken web sites in Safari at night, try Dark Reader and Noir.
Edit: Wipr is a great ad blocker, as bob_zz123 suggested.

Look into 1Blocker. Gets rid of ads and other annoyances. The only extensions I use are 1Blocker and 1Password.
I use 1Blocker as well, in Safari on iOS and macOS. Works very well for me.
