I get what you’re saying regarding my extensions, but that’s only my desktop which is on pop os as you know. I also run arch on a raspberry pi 5 with gnome 48.5, Freon, dash to dock, and hide activities button extensions. On my laptop which runs fedora, gnome 48.4, and app indicator, dash to dock and Freon extensions. Don’t remember ever having a problem with those. My general feeling is that yes extensions can have problems, so best to install only a few.
You say that about theming, but on pop os most apps accept the gtk theming and look great, no crashes – I’m sure that’s due to being on the old gnome version. The other two machines, I haven’t messed with theming much because it already looks pretty decent to me, and those machines are more for casual use anyhow.
