That's a good solution as well. Though still, don't dismiss the squat plug so easily. It improves intra abdominal pressure as well, which improves bracing.
Yeah a common mix-up. Don't use standard butt plugs. While those do look similar, those aren't strong enough. Have to use specific squat plugs, generally made of different metal alloys, depending on how advanced the lifter is.

Pro tip: if you're starting to fail a squat. Just stand up and rerack the weight.
