Cheats aside, are there any competitive games that include Uber-like rating system? Meaning that you'd need to provide feedback whether you'd play with your opponents/teammates again after a game.

Overwatch (1) had something like that. Not sure if Overwatch (2) still has it, or how it functions now.

In higher ELO, people would target good players with "avoid player"^1, effectively soft-banning those people from match making because the pool was small enough. They would still get put in matches eventually but their queues would blow out a lot.

From memory it did not have an explicit "match me with this person" button, but you could thumbs up players in the post-match podium as well as endorse them which may have soft-factored into matching you with them again.

\1 I think it was called this. It was a general "bad attitude" marker, not a "bad team mate" or "bad opponent" marker.

Dota 2 comes to mind, they have the commend system. If I remember correctly they added something like this to CS: GO too.

Yes to some extent, I believe “The Finals” asked to rate how each match went in earlier seasons. But that stopped now that the game is more mature and feeling well balanced.

Cod MW2019 would occasionally ask, but once every X game IIRC.

The idea of someone rating me, or rating someone else makes me anxious.

I'm not sure it would be better than just reporting people with undesired behavior.

Smite used to do that, but long time since I played it.
