This is caused by spoofing the entire request. A patch to the response is necessary.
Interestingly, for some songs it works: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=PCXaynu8wM0&si=9wTG4f5hK8QB80Am
Looks like the issue occurs when a manual playback start is requested. When the next song is playing automatically, the buttons appear.

Oh i didn't noticed that. Also thanks! for a new hotfix, I'll consider repatching the app now and try

Interestingly this issue is not present in YT music version 7.16.53. More investigation is needed.
it doesn't caused by spoof client, tried only gms core patched, still occurs.
@oSumAtrIX Looks like block initplayback is needed in spoof client patch for YT music to avoid action bar layout modification by IOS spoofing and thus bringing the likes count also back.

If anyone has this issue, please uninstall ReVanced YT Music, patch YT Music version 7.16.53, and report if the issue is fixed.
@Psych0naut24 please try newer versions until you find the last version that works correctly. Report back.
Nevermind, I found the last version that shows likes is 7.23.52, but that version also shows an upgrade prompt (can be ignored)
It might be an a/b feature, and with the later versions the feature is on for all users all the time.
Try 7.16.53 again.

7.16.53 working great here.
As a workaround the like/dislike buttons in the "three dots" menu can be used:

Looks like the issue occurs when a manual playback start is requested. When the next song is playing automatically, the buttons appear.
But if patched with GmsCore support patch only, even after the next song plays automatically, the buttons don't load in, unless Enable exclusive audio playback is also selected.
Also, is Spoof client included even if not selected, as in there's a dependency with GmsCore support?
GmsCore depends on spoof client, so it's always included for non root installs.
That kinda sucks in the case of YouTube Music as there's no way for a user to turn it off unlike YouTube where the user can.
When a settings menu is finally added to YT Music spoofing can then be turned off.
The PR for that is getting kinda stale (almost a year old), but is almost finished and only needs a little time to complete.
It would be great to have #2708 merged. Would help to have other patches implemented as well for the future. @oSumAtrIX ?
#2708 isn't finished or rather had one bug left to fix. The PR isn't blocking any patches.

I understand, but implementing a settings page can allow users turn of Spoof client and see if it's actually needed, as in they do have a buffering issue or not. Also, perhaps motivate others to implement other patches as well for YouTube Music with toggles.
Not only "Like" "Dislike" icons, the "comments" icon is also missing with no workaround.

The workaround for the action buttons is the same as the solution posted above (patch 7.16.53)

Unfortunately, version 7.16.53 is now prompting me to update. Yes, there's an update banner that appears when I open the app:
Your YouTube Music app is outdated. Update now to continue using it.
I can still play music, but honestly, the update banner is quite annoying. Sooner or later, Google might discontinue older versions of YT Music, just like they did with YouTube 18.x.x.
We can use the recommended version suggested in the patches, even the latest version of YTM (8.17.52 at the time of writing) has been successfully patched but it still has bugs, as described in this bug report repo.
