Will it work for all the styles and scripts added by plugins and themes, as well as the inline scripts added by the theme?

How do you install this? I put it in my Wordpress mu-plugins folder, as the plugin name implies, and it crashed the site.

@jamminjames Assuming you're running PHP 8.1+, my guess is that you aren't using anything in the Roots stack, so the call to add_filters is causing an error.

I updated the code above to not require that function, and it should now work on sites PHP 8.1+ and WP 5.7.0+. Also, remember to update the report-uri header in get_csp_header_value().
