Best option, although still not a very good one, is a browser with an invidious instance website ( e.g inv.tux.pizza ) as they have no shorts. Probably one of the few solutions on IOS.

My advice would be to enable iOS screen time settings and set YouTube to a small limit.
Once the limit is reached it'll nag you every 15 minutes.
