I have never worked on a source with such an insane amount of haloing before. Also tried using lghost but it doesn't seem to work here or maybe I don't know how to use it.

I had a bit of a play with it. See if there's any ideas here you don't hate.
Changing the order of the filters can change the result quite a bit, so try experimenting with it yourself.

B.mkv (https://files.videohelp.com/u/210984/B.mkv)


A = SeparateFields().SelectEven().Stab()
B = SeparateFields().SelectOdd().Stab()
Interleave(A, B)
Weave()
TemporalDeGrain2(grainlevel=3, degrainTR=2, postFFT=1, postSigma=1)
FineDehalo()
MergeChroma(AwarpSharp2(Depth=5), AwarpSharp2(Depth=20))
FastLineDarkenMod4(Thinning=0)
CropResize(640,480, 2,2,-2,0, InSAR=10.0/11.0) # Extra cropping due to Stab(). Resizing optional
FineDehalo()
FineDehalo()
LSFMod(defaults="slow", Strength=50)
MAA()
ConvertBits(16).GradFun3Plus().ConvertBits(8, Dither=0)
Prefetch(12)

Just as a side comment:
It's kind of sad, that there is no basicvsr++ for Avisynth, I really like using it edge masked on anime/carton to restore edges,... (using it unmasked can be too destructive)

lghost (or VSLghost) and maybe with edgesidebleed()

edit: proof of concept using vsLGhost([1,1,3,4,1],[1,-1,3,3,3],[-20,20,-5,10,5])
