Seems like a pretty strong case for a Pihole setup.

Short of network level fixes or loader swapping, is the best solution a dumb (disconnected TV) and a STB like AppleTV or Roku?

I dont think a Pi-hole would work for this, because google serves the ads from the same location as the content (the same reason pi-hole can't block youtube ads)

I’m pretty sure I read upthread that the Roku has ads, too?

Yea, you are right. I basically included that so I wouldn’t get ripped for shilling for Apple lol.
