Instead of using that Add-in model, I would look at using this open source solution, which is based on the PnP responsive UI project and works on the new modern doc libraries also.

https://github.com/eoverfield/SP-Custom-Script-Action

It will inject your Javascript using the User Custom Action method. Just modify the 2 XML PnP Provisioning template files to reference your .js file. The PS script will upload the .js file to the location you specify in template file and then inject it into every page in the site collection.

So you will have to run this PS against each site collection

Thanks

Does this usage analytics inject javascript to only web pages ? Would this work for usage analytics of documents being looked in office online/browser ?

The links I provided are generic for injecting any javascript or css into web pages. It doesn't provide any injection or tracking of documents (online/offline). You will need to check with the analytics vendor on how to tracking documents - probably modifying the links on the pages to include a tracking code, but that is beyond the scope of this thread.
