I'm getting a lot of buffering with my VPN, would a socks5 proxy be enough to keep me anonymous?

If your provider uses TLS (https) then yes, a proxy is all that is necessary
It's fine.
A proxy isn't encrypted, it just replaces the ip address your provider sees. Your ISP and anyone else monitoring can still see your traffic. That may work for you.
