If it was just the adult industry I wouldn't hold my breath, but sports gambling sites need that feature too.
According to a recent webinar on age verification, gambling sites need to implement KYC (which has a higher litmus test than age verification,) and they also do not need to challenge anyone until they attempt to gamble. The laws are different. Simply watching gambling is not part of the requirement, so I don't think there's going to be any cross-connection between these two industries. My understanding is whether you are accepting funds to show adult content or not (i.e., tour) you still need to age verify against your risk assessment.

I don't think CSS blurring is very risk averse, and I won't personally suggest it for clients. I'm working on a WordPress plugin similar to this one, but it will actually batch transcode images to be blurred. I also include this as part of my custom CMS/transcoder products, which is an extra step to blur content.
