Youtube uses QUIC for most of its comms (to Chrome and to the Android YT player; possibly to the iOS one too, I don't remember), which does implement TLS with 0-1 RTTs for connection setup (practically speaking, no additional delay).

And IIRC, encryption overhead is pretty insignificant if you have a CPU with AES instructions, which is to say, pretty much anything from the past 5+ years.

With a cave-at: Intel's low-cost CPUs didn't include AES-NI until pretty recently. Which is why, in 2014, I went for a cheap Athlon instead of a Celeron for my custom-built homeserver with full-disk encryption.
