Replace with diff driver? Coz the driver usually the culprit.
You need to invest in a good driver with low EM, high PF

What if the ballast failed after using Phillips led tube for a while? Need to replace with traditional ballast again?

Durable yes but probably not until 20 years for my case. If not faulty, it might be noisy

Try first. Magnetic ballast won’t spoilt easily. They just step down the voltage.
