Just wondering what the state of play with this add-on and 2.3 was?

So, is there no way to activate "2-Way Ignore/Block"?
I tried the add-on and it does exactly what I need, but I also want to give users the option to block other users.
I am willing to pay for this add-on.

Not quite sure exactly what you're after. Users can already ignore other users of course, if you need more than the ignore and you want to allow users to be able to block users they are ignoring from viewing things like their profiles and so forth then this add-on might work for you: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/block-ignored-users-a-k-a-reverse-ignore.10222/
https://xenforo.com/community/resources/andrew-moderator-panel.8131/ provides an easy way to force two users users to ignore each other if that's your goal.
As an aside I'd still find an updated Tachy Goes to Coventry useful, although I always thought a more subtle lowering of user visibility would be also helpful in some circumstances. So just removing them from things like the last post notifications and so forth, so users would still see their contributions, but we'd avoid drawing attention to them.

Although it may not make sense, some users on my forum simply do not want to see certain users at all. This primarily includes replies, quotes, etc. So, for example, completely hide the reply/quote of an ignored user in a post by a non-ignored user—instead of displaying a message that it is content from an ignored user.

My understanding is that within threads (at least on 2.2) you don't see any evidence of the ignored users's posts unless you have followed a link that is directly anchored to the post, so a "latest" link in a thread for instance and the ignored user was the last poster. So say for example you visit a thread
/threads/example-p8.12345/page-8 you simply wouldn't see their posts on that page, but if you visit it /threads/example-p8.12345/post-98765 where post 98765 is a post by your ignored user then you will see a post entry including the user's avatar and it'll say the "You are ignoring content by this member. Show Ignored Content" message. Seems to have been like this since 1.5. I can get why that might be annoying to users who are trying to ignore someone however!Then as you say there is always the risk of seeing something that has been quoted. That is alas potentially hard to prevent since quotes are not obliged to reference the poster so even filtering based on that might not catch 100% of them. You also see ignored users mentioned in things like the main forum lists, but the entries will be like
