The only downside is VPN provider endpoints are blocked by many services.

You have the same problem on most VPS providers too.

It's getting to the point where anything other than a censored, throttled, traffic shaped, surveilled, overpriced, residential ISP IP is a second class citizen. It's a real bummer.

I use a router behind my router at home that runs 100% of my traffic over a VPN before it leaves the building. Any services that don't work, I simply don't use them. Someone else will take my money.

The only option I found to work was to have friends with a spare /24 willing to peer with your BGP router, unfortunately

I wish I had friends like that.

Yup. Got me a Racknerd VPS for fairly cheap and made it a PiVPN for fun, but things like Netflix don't work.
