The packages you listed are generally used for scripting and compiling C# code and are compatible with .NET Core and .NET Standard. Here's a breakdown of their compatibility with Unity:

Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common, Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp, Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Scripting, and Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.Common: These are part of the Roslyn compiler platform and are typically used for code analysis and scripting. Unity primarily uses its own internal scripting and compilation systems, so these packages might not be directly useful unless you’re building custom tools or editors within Unity.

System.Buffers, System.Collections.Immutable, System.Memory, System.Numerics.Vectors, System.Reflection.Metadata, System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe, and System.Runtime.Loader: These are libraries that provide various system-level functionality and are generally compatible with .NET Standard 2.0, which Unity supports. However, Unity's .NET runtime (Mono) may have some limitations or differences compared to standard .NET implementations.

Mono runtime: Unity uses a version of Mono for scripting. The packages you listed should work with Unity’s Mono runtime as long as they are compatible with .NET Standard 2.0 or lower.

In general, if you are developing tools or features for Unity that require advanced scripting or code analysis, these packages could be useful. However, for typical Unity development, you might not need these specific packages unless you are working on something that involves code compilation or advanced scripting features.
