Not sure if it supports all of that, but yt-dlp is my go-to.

I use metrolist https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.metrolist.music
~~Why can't I find it on f-droid?~~
I just needed to add the izzyondroid repo to fdroid
Oddly since I started using metrolist this weekend, my revanced version of yt musc broke. I get an error saying content is not available.
Really good actually, works great
SimpMusic can do all of that... Except it only works for about ten days after each version release, then you have to wait a few months for the next.
I don't think you'll get all of these points with the same tool. You can login to your account and use recommendations with Revanced YT Music, but not download. Freetube can't do #1 but can import your sub list and download. yt-dlp can't do #1 but can download (mpv could be used as the player technically). Invidious can't do #1 but can the others, but Youtube updated their API recently which largely breaks Invidious. Terminal players like youtube-viewer, ytfzf, yewtube, etc can't do #1 but usually the others.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a client that meets all these requirements if you dont have yt music premium or yt premium. That said, yt music revanced will be able to do points 1 and 3 with no ads.
There are quite a lot of clients for that, actually. Just search for "Youtube Music" on F-Droid and you will be presented with a myriad of choices. My personal favourite is Metrolist.
I haven't looked recently, granted, but I thought that especially requirement 1 would be difficult (and wasn't a possibility last time I checked). Good to know otherwise.
None of them work anymore. I switched to podcasts 😅
