You might not need this plugin. Its core job is small enough to live in your theme's functions.php.

Show the snippet

// Add ID column to posts, pages, and other post types
add_filter( 'manage_posts_columns', 'show_id_column' );
add_filter( 'manage_pages_columns', 'show_id_column' );
function show_id_column( $columns ) {
    $columns['post_id'] = 'ID';
    return $columns;
}

add_action( 'manage_posts_custom_column', 'show_id_column_value', 10, 2 );
add_action( 'manage_pages_custom_column', 'show_id_column_value', 10, 2 );
function show_id_column_value( $column, $post_id ) {
    if ( 'post_id' === $column ) {
        echo esc_html( $post_id );
    }
}

// Add ID column to taxonomy term lists (categories, tags, etc.)
add_filter( 'manage_edit-category_columns', 'show_term_id_column' );
add_filter( 'manage_edit-post_tag_columns', 'show_term_id_column' );
function show_term_id_column( $columns ) {
    $columns['term_id'] = 'ID';
    return $columns;
}

add_filter( 'manage_category_custom_column', 'show_term_id_column_value', 10, 3 );
add_filter( 'manage_post_tag_custom_column', 'show_term_id_column_value', 10, 3 );
function show_term_id_column_value( $content, $column, $term_id ) {
    if ( 'term_id' === $column ) {
        return esc_html( $term_id );
    }
    return $content;
}

Keep in mind:This covers posts, pages, categories, and tags. Extend similarly for media, comments, and WooCommerce using the same column filter pattern.
