So im running pihole with ublock on Firefox in Linux. I’ve yet to see this warning. Any reason?

As long as you're using just the pihole YouTube shouldn't be able to detect it. The playback blocker is based on detecting common ad blocker extensions in your web browser.

I was told the other day that pihole doesn't block YouTube ads because they're served from the same server?

From my experience it's different servers, but it might depend on your location. It's the twitch ads that come from the same server as the video stream. Those are harder to block.
