On android, one can use facebook in the firefox mobile browser instead of the app. Firefox mobile does allow ublock origin, and it's trivial to add a home shortcut to any web app.
This has other advantages: facebook web site can't ask for a 1000 permissions or to be updated regularly, won't run in the background eating memory and battery and this will limit the disk space it can eat.
You're paying the price with a less integrated UI, yet given the pros, it may be worth it.
