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.
For those on Linux (on GNOME and KDE, at least), experimentation is still alive and well in https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows#readme.
Good observation.
Turning off extensions is where OP lost me. In the last year, the single biggest quality of life improvement for me has been discovering the Argos[0] extension, which basically lets you put whatever text/menus you want in the top bar by writing scripts that print to stdout. To save space, I hid the dock (I use [1] as a replacement alt-tab), so the top bar is the only piece of screen that isn't OS chrome.
On my top bar right now I have the time in four time zones (including the ever-important UTC to save a mental calculation when logging at logs), the name of the current Wifi access point, and some VPN details gleaned using a combination of ip r, ping, nc, and curl. Another extension shows free RAM. I look at them dozens of times a day.

Project mention: My GNOME 44 after customized with Gruvbox Color Scheme | /r/ManjaroLinux | 2023-09-11GNOME Extensions : quick-settings-tweaker, appindicator and KStatusNotifier, arcmenu, blur-my-shell, dash-to-panel, forge, gsconnect, just-perfection, show-desktop-button, space-bar, user-themes and vitals
Project mention: Help. Iām using the PopOS tile windows extension(not on popOS) and most apps when opens after boot opens in a weird zoomed way as shown. | /r/gnome | 2023-06-12
There's a GitHub issue for that: https://github.com/hardpixel/unite-shell/issues/324

If you use Gnome you can use this extension: https://github.com/jeffshee/gnome-ext-hanabi
Okay, after much tinkering around, I managed to find a tool that does exactly what I needed it to with literally no extra tinkering, which I found here: https://github.com/deinstapel/cpupower but to be honest it just raised more questions. If I leave the CPU on boost mode in the bios, it gives me pretty much full range of minimum clock speed and maximum clock speed (Except minimum can only go as low as 16% for some reason, which is odd, but I'm sure there's a reason for that somewhere.) But here's where it gets weird. If I leave the maximum at 100%, it seems the lower I put the minimum allowed clock speed, the more likely audio issues are to occur. (Mind you, all these tests were done with the maximum allowed speed set to 100%) For instance, in my limited testing I did, if I leave the minimum at 16%, audio issues happen INCREDIBLY quickly, but if I raise the minimum to 50%, no REAL audio issues seem to occur except maybe a pop every once in a while. I really would like to know the cause of this.
Project mention: I need a small tool to monitor the CPU temperature and Fans RPM in Fedora 38 | /r/linuxquestions | 2023-05-24I imagine you are using GNOME? In that case you can use the extension called freon: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/841/freon/
Project mention: Does Ubuntu have Clipboard History or something similar like Windows 10? | /r/Ubuntu | 2023-12-10Ubuntu uses GNOME. I use a GNOME extension, Clipboard History. It works well.
And if you are a GNOME user, tophat is a very similar alternative to what the author suggests:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5219/tophat/
Project mention: Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-27I'm currently using 4 extensions.
system-monitor (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/). It is nice to see my CPU and memory usage at a glance with some history. I don't look too often but it can be good for understanding how builds are progressing, check that my software is utilizing parallelism well and see when things are in an infinite loop gobbling RAM.
Clipboard History (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4839/clipboard-histor...)
I can't live without a clipboard manager, this seems to do a decent job.
Bing Wallpaper (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1262/bing-wallpaper-c...)
I don't see my wallpaper often but when I open the menu or log in it is nice to have a new beautiful picture.
AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-supp...)
I like icons in my toolbar.
DDTerm is "Another Drop Down Terminal Extension for GNOME Shell" and has managed to be a perfect drop-in replacement for Guake for me. It supports, among other things:
