Unfortunately, retrofitting CSP on an existing site can be nightmare, especially if you have external dependencies. At my job, we spent months trying to enable CSP on one our oldest sites, but ultimately gave up because one of our dependencies won't work unless we added "unsafe-inline" everywhere, which kinda defeats the whole point of CSP.
Having something is better than nothing! In our case, having
connect-src
enabled would have avoided the incident.
