I was thinking more so to add 3d objects to previously recorded drone footage.

Would SLAM be the best option there?

This video is awesome for what it sounds like you're trying to do.

SLAM would be to build a 3D model of what you filmed with a drone.

Adding CGI to drone footage doesn't require that, and is absolutely something Blender can do. Look at its motion/camera tracking features.
