I want a way to sync my ineligible audio with my iPhone. After switching to iCloud Music Library, ineligible audio isn't sync'd to my iPhone even when I connect it directly to my iMac. This is really frustrating. There has to be a better / easier way than simply switching back from iCloud Music Library.

No, iTunes Match and Apple Music are still separate subscriptions. And the iTunes Match support article specifically references ineligible music, but I couldn't find any reference to "inelegible music" in the Apple Music documentation, so was confused.
But, I just found an iCloud Music Library support article (which applies to both services), and here is the description of what is categorized as "ineligible":
Ineligible
This icon appears next items that can't be added to iCloud Music Library. A song might be ineligible if it wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store or was purchased using a different Apple ID, or if the song file is larger than 200 MB, is longer than two hours, or was encoded at 96 Kbps or less.
Here's a link to the article that explains all of the various icons you may see: About iCloud Music Library icons and status - Apple Support

Can you clarify if you are using iCloud Music Library with iTunes Match, or with Apple Music, or both?
I'm not seeing anything in the Apple Music documentation that describes "ineligible" tracks: Add music from your own collection to your Apple Music library - Apple Support

While certain tracks may be "cloud ineligible," you can always change them with a free app like Audacity:

I'm using it with Apple Music. As far as I know, when you subscribe to Apple Music then iTunes Match is part of that.
