The only real attempt at monetisation that I've seen is https://beetoons.tv/, but they use their own crypto - making it like Odysee. Why is that?

Edit: Please, before you answer consider this monetisation doesn't mean ads!

I wouldn’t mind paying a monthly subscription to the creators I enjoy in Peertube.

I’m already doing it through Patreon, but doing through Peertube would be better as these creators would see that the money is coming from a Peertube user.

It would be my preferred way too. There are plugins for Wordpress (example). that allow microtransactions, leading me to believe it should be possible for peertube as well 🤔
