I have installed both uBlock Origin and NoScript in Firefox. Does it make sense to use both at the same time? I was wondering whether or not uBlock Origin is able to do everything that NoScript does. If not, what does NoScript have that uBlock Origin does not?

My understanding is yes it can. You need to adjust the blocking mode.

Is there a simple way to block individual scripts with uBlock? I’ve only found a simple way to block 3rd or 1st party scripts and frames altogether.

You can use the element zapper or picker to remove individual elements on a page.

You can also use the logger to identify specific elements and then create a rule to block them.

I recommend uMatrix for targeted blocking.
