My question is: Can you block the IPs it’s phoning home to without breaking other TV functions, like OS/app updates, etc? Is there a list of IPs available for smart TVs specifically that keep the fingerprint from being received by the mfg?

The difference is, if the TV box does something I don’t like, I can unplug it and plug something else in. If the TV does something you don’t like, theres nothing you can do to stop it.
Case in point, Roku’s forced arbitration nonsense. If your TV was disconnected, there’s no way they can force any changes at all on you.
Agreed. It’s definitely an improvement.
