but then the things added by tubular are so vital that i just switch to newpipe while things are broken
Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)?

I’ve had the opposite experience, where NewPipe lagged behind PipePipe in terms of adapting to YouTube-related changes. It had something to do with updating the subscription feed (not that that function is totally reliable on either app).
I also observed this strange issue with NewPipe where if a notification sound interrupts a background-playing video, the audio would stay reduced in volume until the app was brought back to the foreground. A cursory search suggested it was specific to Samsung phones, but when I switched to PipePipe, the issue simply didn’t appear.
Grain of salt: I haven’t used NewPipe since switching in November.

Nice, I recently switched to PipePipe but have NewPipe installed alongside. You observations totally make sense, as PipePipe’s website suggests, its development has become independent of NewPipe.
