Can any pattern be straight edge? I like the look because my tension is allllll over the place. So want straight art.

You can use the straight edges technique on any pattern, if that is your question.

Some patterns have a tendency to curve a bit, if there are lots of knots going in the same direction.

I’ve watched MarshaKnots video about it. So essentially I would add extra strings and do either a FB or BF knots?

It depends. For some patterns you don't need to add extra string. But for most patterns you need to.

I've written a tutorial as well, if you are curious

Yes, you can use the straight edges technique on pattern #91360. The straight edges technique can be used on any pattern.
In this pattern you don't even need to add extra strings at the edges. Just replace all the knots on the left edge with bf and on the right edge with fb.
