The character I'm referring to in Midnight Occult Civil Servants is the guy who used to be a host (Kyoichi). You can quibble, but host clubbing is sex work, IMHO.
I'm not sure what things were like before the Ears of Sand. I imagine they treated yokai like pests. There are city dog catchers, after all. It's not like we talk to the dogs and ask them why they're roaming without a leash, we just lock them up and cart them away and hope someone claims them. I imagine they worked like that. Someone should write a fic. (If I'm not careful, that someone will be ME.)
And I wouldn't necessarily argue that Midnight Occult Civil Servants is kind of derivative, but that rarely stops me from loving a thing. I fell hard for the former host who now has an older sister who is his younger sister and grew up in an orphanage. Theo (Seo) intrigues me as well, since the manga seems to give Theo the they/them pronoun, and Kyoichi uses Theo as an excuse to not date. I feel the fic plot bunnies just churning there. :-)
