I just read your list and it confirms mine.

Small buffer AND can't skip ahead on a boring video because you can only get served the ads to unlock further video after time equal to the served video duration has passed.

That is not YouTube, it's online TV and there will be an impact on the product. Preloading a video via a 3rd party client will still easily beat this scheme. Just get a headstart equal to the first ad break.
