Any examples of Safari Extensions you're looking for on iOS?
Ad-Guard: Works very well, including ability to block YouTube ads.
LastPass: A password manager, useful for cross platform password storing.
PiPifier: Enables PiP in any video player.
Tab Suspender: Suspends tabs after a period of inactivity. Helps with websites that tend to use resources in the backgroud.
Ad guard: download the app and integrate it as a content blocker in safari options. I’ve been using it for a long time. It offers a lot of features.
Password managers: can also be integrated in the OS itself by installing the app and set the config.
To be honest, since I stopped using a Windows machine I almost completely switched to Apple's own keychain. That said, I still have the LastPass because it is easier to use for storing private data that does not strictly conforms to the "username and password" convention.
On my script and on the Pipifier, YouTube would stop playback when you lock the device but you can resume it through tapping the play button in the control center.

Since it needs local file access (to get the custom stylesheets), I'd guess it will need to be re-architected for iOS though.
But now that Safari mobile extensions are a thing, we are moving rapidly to make this happen. We have had a dedicated iOS app for years, but allowing people to access our functionality from within existing iOS apps has always been our goal.
I don't know how many other companies have been waiting in the wings, but I'm sure we're not the only one for whom this announcement is big news.
Will probably also write one for personal use that bypasses basic paywalls and GDPR prompts.
I have traffic to most known Facebook servers blocked on my Mac hosts file, perhaps I can't get to hosts on iOS but an extension would be the next best thing.
Finally, there are a couple bookmarking websites like verygoods.co that rely on antiquated bookmarklets that no longer function with modern browser privacy settings, I'd like to try to reverse engineer a replacement, but I'm unsure if that's possible.
"barely any usable extensions on desktop safari" I'm quite fond of 1Password, Cascadea https://cascadea.app, and KeySearch http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/keysearch/.
Content blockers can match on URL patterns, either for all only a subset of content types, and cause Safari to cancel any requests for those resources. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/cre...
