I added the plugin and used it to grab a few longer mixes off yt, it worked great but upon invoking 'beet update' I get errors about yt-ratings immediately and can no longer use beets as I was.

I'm doing a big import at the moment and can't provide logs right now but just curious if I can use 'beet ytimport --no-likes' to manually grab stuff from youtube, but not have it otherwise interfere with my beets library.

To use the ytimport plugin to download audio from YouTube without importing it into your local beets library (but leaving it within the ytimport download directory), you can run beet ytimport --no-import {--likes|<URLS>}

I remember I also had some problems with beet update destroying some meta data which is why I didn't use it for a while. Which error did you run into when calling beet update?
