For the first time, I'm not upgrading to the new release
I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

Question about extensions on GNOME
https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/tag/v55 does not mention security fixes. Do you have more information?

Things You Can Do with KDE Connect on Linux
I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.

The road to KDE Connect 2.0
it works, but the github says the project doesn't have dedicated developers. https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki
- Is there a way to refresh GSconnect once in a while or assign a shortcut to refresh it? I want a command which can be used to refresh GSconnect, I will just assign a key to it.

- Soft Brightness is gone for the time being with the release of Gnome42. Is there a replacement that allows me to not burn my retinas on my old displays?

Complete noob here, uhhh where is the brightness slider? (Fedora 35)
Assuming you're using Gnome, there is for example https://github.com/F-i-f/soft-brightness but note that this will probably just send darker pixels to the screen and not reduce the backlight brightness. Which means your screen will use more power than necessary and picture quality will probably be worse.
