A few weeks ago, youtube changed their swearword policy. A creator I follow basically had to delete half their channel or risk termination.

They're not banning channels based on swearwords (yet, anyway). They are demonetizing videos with swearing - in the first bit, if too much, maybe other rules, but nobody is getting banned from saying 'shit'.

If you don't want monetization, is swearing in your videos to avoid your subscribers having to watch ads a viable strategy?

Huh, I was down a yt rabbit hole right around then when some videos suddenly wouldn't load, turned out that I might've been the last-ever viewer of the (small) channel that got banned right at that moment - did make quite an impression. A ban wave might explain that -- I was wondering just how often channels really are being banned that I'd see it happening in real time.
