BeatEdit will get you this functionality, but unless you're planning to use this workflow again, the price might be prohibitive. https://aescripts.com/beatedit-for-after-effects/

Manual route:
Reveal your waveform by pressing LL in AE (though honestly, I typically prefer to do this step in Premiere or Audition. AE is not really set up for intense audio work.) You should be able to see the beats relatively clearly in most songs, and can go through and create markers to make them easy to sync keyframes to. You can drop markers as you're previewing the track, though I find that we humans are usually 2-3 frames late, unless you're really good at anticipating.
For the above look, I'd probably just add an adjustment layer at the top of the composition, with the Transform effect. It'll affect everything below it, and means you won't have to do those scale keyframes on all those various layers (which may be scaled differently themselves, if your source material is similar to the sample above).
