Ooh, pick me!

I don't think so. AFAIK when you visit the server homepage, it downloads the Invidious JavaScript, and runs it in your web browser. Those scripts then access the YT servers the same way their own web apps do.

If you've got a bit of time to kill, you could set up your own Invidious server. Deploying replacement web apps like this (and Nitter for Titter, scribe.rip for Medium, etc) are a low-risk first step in learning to host your own online services.
