I depends on your niche and audience. A lot of YouTube creators do not meet the criteria for monetization.

I think the biggest problem for PeerTube is the myth of making money on YouTube.

My example; Small YT channel, not monetized. After I made the jump to Peertube in January, I actually made enough money by selling seeds to cover the microphone expense. The community is more supportive outside YouTube.

The whole "trying to game the algoritme" part of YouTube is destroying it - It gave us AI slob and clickbait.
After I started to publish to PeerTube, I feel a change in pride and joy in my videoes, hard to explain but I feel more free. Making something for others not for the algoritme.
