As iPad natively supports mirroring to a TV/monitor using HDMI or VGA, no “workaround” should be necessary. You simply require a suitable HDMI adapter for your iPad model. Assuming that your iPad has a Lightning connector:

Alternatively, for an iPad with a USB-C port:

You are trying to outwit the regulations and we cannot help with that; I use some European apps which do not allow me to watch some content because they recognize my US IP address and tell me that I am not able to see it except in EU countries. I respect that.
I run the latest iOS on both iPads and do not have any issues (I do not use Youtube or Netflix though. I would guess that running a VPN may have something to do with it. Have you tested it without a VPN?
I haven’t tried it without the VPN but that would allow the apps to see that I was no longer in the US. It also doesn’t explain why it worked with previous versions of IOS. I appreciate your help but that’s not going to allow me to use the apps while traveling.
I’m currently using a iPad (6th gen) with IOS 16.4.1 with a genuine HDMI to lightning adapter. I’ve used this setup for at least 5 years beginning with an older iPad to stream YouTube TV and Netflix on TV’s while traveling outside the US. I can stream both apps without issue on the iPad and if I keep it on a minimized screen it works for awhile but as soon as I hit the full screen icon the TV either goes black with the sound running in the background or will work for a short period of time before freezing up. I use a VPN and geo location for my home address to insure it still shows I’m at home. Both apps work as they should on the iPad until I attempt the mirroring. Research on this forum indicates there’s an issue with the newer IOS updates on mirroring. I’ve tried different HDMI cables on two different TV’s with same result.
What exactly are you looking for? I use mirroring daily with 2 different iPad models.
