I count it as "good enough" for now.

I wouldn't. Most YouTube alternatives that hook into YouTube for content are always going to be in the tenuous position of "It works until Google decides to drastically change things."
I think it'd be easier to not become dependent on YouTube's content in the first place when there is always that chance they pull the rug out from everyone.
You don't count using YouTube scrapers as de-googling because Google might make it break some day? That makes no sense.
Why is that? It's Google's content you're still consuming, ergo you have at least some measure of dependence on Google to continue accessing it.
"De-googled" is just a word. And it doesn't really apply here. Like the word "banana" also doesn't apply to what I do on my phone... The interesting question is: What is your goal? What are you trying to achieve? YouTube still sends you the data. And they log your requests. But you don't have an App anymore that is designed by Google to track you some more and make the ad playback more smooth...
Ok buddy.
