Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > So, when these changes are applied will it also work on images added by
 Gutenberg blocks like the image block, gallery block, cover block, etc.

 @isaumya yes - these changes are applied via a content filter so this
 should work for almost every image in the content, regardless of how you
 added it (Gutenberg, classic editor, etc). The only exception would be
 sites that disable "the_content" filtering.
