I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

uBlock Origin to block 3rd party JS.
NoScript to specifically allow certain functions of certain domains serving JS.
Both of these combined make sure I never see such banners because, well, no JS allowed for most things.
Also Cookie Autodelete with Firefox containers. Even if someone happened to store cookies in my browser, they are gone by the time I close the tab. Also FF containers prevent the proliferation of cookies across tabs if in different profiles.
Does noscript blocks unnecessary JavaScript automatically, or do we need to manually add rules?
NoScript blocks (almost) everything by default. You can then allow, temporarily allow, or selectively allow specific types of capabilities that JS from a domain can run, on either every page or on the specific FQDN. Or you can explicitly block the script(s).
The reason I said almost in the first line is because you can customise the default behaviour of NoScript to allow/disallow certain capabilities to scripts you haven’t provided custom permissions/encountered before.
As an aside you can ditch Noscript if you put ublock into medium mode.
