I'm answering from the standpoint of being affected by this too and being a volunteer moderator here.
The ads are loaded by the same scripts as loads the videos, and are mostly loaded from the same origins as the main site and videos. NoScript is only a security tool, and from a security standpoint, there is no "I trust this resource from this site but not this other resource from the same site", and definitely no "I trust this part of this resource but not this other part". If the site is malicious, it can just move the untrustworthy stuff to where the trustworthy stuff was, so there is no security gain by having that level of granularity.
NoScript does not have the functionality to adapt to these Youtube changes, and adding it is outside the scope of NoScript.
