Now that Twitch officially does not support mods, what are good alternatives? Twitch says to go to Overwolf, but it has a sketchy reputation from what I was able to read online...
Any recommendations ?

Curseforge on overwolf. Don't listen to spergs, overwolf is ok, and if you wear tinfoil hat, just disable all aggreements on gathering your useless data.
Going with Curseforge on Overwolf myself.
Not sure how they're "sketchy", and not sure I care. We have people calling the Earth flat and vaccines "anti-science" in this post-fact world of ours.
No contest - https://wowup.io/
Ajour is even better than WoWup and doesn't trigger Windows security like WoWup does.
I'm using Cursebreaker, no interface but that doesn't bother me. Otherwise WoWup.

Personally I don't use overwolf but it's funny how people pretend that twitch and amazon would be any better than overwolf. They 100% collect your personal info like all the other tech giants.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
It also forces you to run the separate Overwolf app every time which has a bunch of privacy-concerning stuff enabled by default. You can of course disable those things, but most people won't know to do that.
I'm much happier with WowUp and suggest everybody switch. It's open-source and works great. At least it does now, I imagine Overwolf/Curse/WowI/etc will break it at some point as it doesn't show their ads.
The real answer is for addon authors to host their stuff on github. It isn't 2006, bandwidth and storage are cheap as hell and github gives it away for free. Then you just need a website indexing all the various addons for discovery, which again can be hosted for free somewhere like github or a wiki.
Ajour also seems fine, although I haven't evaluated it myself.

People have knee-jerk reactions rather than finding out for themselves.
That's why we have people thinking the planet is flat in 2020, or that vaccines cause autism.
I simply disabled the features I didn't want. Done.
My reason for not going WowUp is that I 100% expect it to be gone before too long. I don't run these apps in the background when I'm not updating mods, but if I did, I'd go WowUp. Maybe. Curseforge runs just fine during the time that I do have it up.

Curseforge. It's the same thing as Twitch except without the Twitch bloat, and with some of the ad revenue going to authors instead of Jeff Bezos.
That's a fair stance for sure.
We'll see. They may not care and let wowup/ajour/cursebreaker continue, or it may trigger an arms race, or (as happened 10+ years ago) they may successfully kill them. Unlike 2008 the bandwidth cost is basically negligible now so it won't appreciably hurt their bottom line, and anyone who goes to the trouble to use WowUp or whatever clearly is going to block their ads anyway. May not be worth their time to fight us.
I decided to use minion, someone said something good about it here and i like it although it doesn't have some addons that i used to use via twitch it has most so it'll work
Most addons are still hosted on Curse so MMO minion isn't a great choice.
