On iPadOS it seems that you can play YouTube in the background again (previously YouTube blocked this on mobile, I guess the fact that iPadOS pretends to be a desktop browser nullifies this!), but you do have to resume playback from the “now playing” widget once the YouTube window goes into the background. The easiest way I’ve found to do this is to swipe down control center from the top right, then press the Play icon in the Now Playing widget.
