I got an LG C2 and immediately plugged a Roku into it. I've spent less than 5 minutes total looking at WebOS. I also have OpenWRT's ad block setup enabled on my router. If there are ads on its home screen, I am blind to them.

You may as well get a RokuTV and avoid the remote juggling for volume control.

We use a Roku with an LG OLED, mostly to avoid connecting the TV to the internet. Turns out if you use the HDMI ARC for audio (we connected to a soundbar) and everything in the chain is new enough, then the Roku remote volume buttons will adjust the soundbar volume just fine. Roku remote can also turn the TV on and off, so we don't need the LG remote now except to change to a different input.

Are there any Roku TVs with EVO OLED panels?

The Roku remote controls TV power and soundbar volume just fine. CEC didn't seem to work quite right, so I enabled the Roku's IR blaster feature. The LG remote can control the Roku as well, through CEC.
