I use Gnome with extensions and are quite happy. But it’s true. the worst part is when they break after a new version comes out.
Fun Fact: You can just add the new version number to some file (can’t remember which) for each extension and many of them work just fine. It’s from a list of version numbers where they decide whether an extension can be run on a given Gnome Version. And new versions are not automatically added to thaf list.
I just had a look and I think I edited “metadata.json” for every extension in “$HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/”. I got it from this tutorial.
Yeah I once waited but I think it took multiple months for each maintainer to update. I don’t blame them tho. They update their projects when they can. I just wish it would not necessarily break since it apparently doesn’t really need to be broken.

Metadata.
confOr just wait a while before updating, increasing the chance of extentions being updated
Edit .json

It depends. Sometimes there are major changes, which would need changes. But most of the time, yes, it’s not necessary.
