Hello Ben, Yes, I also get the TTS in addition to VoiceOver with the new YouTube app on the fourth generation Apple TV. From my testing of the app, it does not seem like one can disable the TTS; it seems like a setting that gets enabled when it detects that VoiceOver is on. I did notice though that the parts of the app are accessible with the TTS at least and I could disable VoiceOver after getting into the app. I am not sure what occurs when a video starts playing if those controls are still accessible when VoiceOver is disabled.
