Looking at the filters that uBlock is using, it still seems to be some sort of regex on the xhr request/response body [1]. Why can't youtube trivially defeat this by encrypting everything? It seems like trying to go about the cat-mouse game in this fashion in a losing battle, because all google needs to do is just change up the names a bit each day.

That's exactly what they are doing, well I don't know about only "change up the names" but they update the script multiple times per day and uBlock Origin devs are trying to catch up.
